Amy only came back because the police called her.

No, she had to be honest with herself. She was already heading out the door with the intention to come back when they called her. Despite the horrible encounter she had with Josh this morning, she’d decided to gear herself up and see how he was. She’d put it down to just wanting to know how she should prepare herself for tomorrow.

Truthfully, she wanted to make sure he was okay.

Then the police called her to let her know they’d found his Range Rover parked near Dead Man’s Gorge. She asked where that was, hoping it was some kind of dare-devil place or something, but deep down knew it couldn’t have been a good place.

When the officer confirmed her worries, her heart shattered and she wished she hadn’t left Josh. Despite his rage she wished she didn’t leave.

She hadn’t known Josh very long, but it would break her heart if he did something to himself, and it was looking very likely that he had. The police found the Range Rover parked a few feet away from the edge. That sounded pretty bad to her.

It was six o’clock now. She’d been here for a few hours, sitting with Hilda in Josh’s living room. They were waiting to hear from the police.

Amy had called Hilda and Corey because they were the only people she had to contact. Corey was with the police. He went just in case he needed to…

Well, in case he needed to identify Josh’s body. A tear ran down her cheek at the horrific thought.

“Hey. Don’t cry, chica. We don’t know what’s happened,” Hilda offered, resting her hand on Amy’s.

“It doesn’t look good, Hilda.”

“I know. How about I go get us some stuff at the shop? Like ice cream, or something to cheer us both up,” she offered with a small smile.

Amy nodded, only agreeing because poor Hilda had done everything she could in the time they’d been here to make her feel better. If it made her feel better to get her something at the shop, then Amy would let her go.

Amy probably needed a moment to herself anyway. Just to process what was going on.

As Hilda left the room, Amy leaned forward onto her elbows and held her head in her hands.

What an absolute mess. These last few months had been so up and down that she didn’t even know if she was coming or going. First her mom, then leaving her job in New York, and now Josh.

Weakness ached her body and sapped what little energy she had left away from her. It was as if she’d lived a hundred lifetimes in these short months. So much had happened in a very little space of time and she always had to be alert and ready for the next thing life planned to throw at her. There really was only so much a person could take and this waiting was torture. It made her feel worse for her lack of compassion towards Josh during the time she’d been here.
