CHAPTER 12

Billie encouraged Cat to stay in bed and rest over the next two days. Cat enjoyed writing, but with precious little time with their busy lives, she rarely had the opportunity to do so. With time on her hands that weekend, Billie encouraged her to write about their lives and about the things that were bothering her. It was her hope that by putting her thoughts on paper, they might gleam some clues to help them through this troubling time.

On Saturday morning, Jen let herself into the kitchen. Billie stood by the counter, making a cup of coffee.

"I'll take one of those, big guy. Decaf, if you would," Jen said.

Billie smiled when she saw her friend. "Good morning, Jen. Wanna grab the creamer from the fridge?" Billie inserted a new pod into the coffee machine and pressed 'go.'

"Where's Cat this morning?" Jen asked.

Billie carried the coffee mugs to the table and placed the decaf one in front of Jen. "Still in bed, I'm afraid."

Jen glanced at the clock on the wall. "At ten o'clock? Seriously? Is she okay?"

Billie wrapped her hands around her coffee cup. She stared at the dark liquid swirling around inside it.

"Billie? Is Cat okay?" Jen asked again.

"Yes…and no. Physically, I think she's okay. I mean, she doesn't appear to be sick, but something else is wrong that I can quite put my finger on. She's depressed or something."

"Have you talked to her about it?"

"I've tried, but she doesn't seem to know what's wrong either, so she's having a bit of a problem explaining it to me."

"Maybe she'll talk to me. I'm not as close to the situation as you are."

"Maybe." Billie was a bit taken aback by Jen's persistence. "As much as I hate to admit it, you might be more impartial than I would be."

Jen covered Billie's hand with her own. "Don't worry, love. We'll get her through this."

Billie struggled to hold tears back. "Thank you, Jen. You're a good friend. I don't know what we'd do without you."
