The next two weeks blurred into one torturous game of survival. When I felt like I could breathe again, I found myself back in Dr Privit’s office waiting for blood test results to tell me whether I had to endure another bag of poison or whether I had a reprieve.

I wanted to fight. I wanted to roar. I wanted to … but I secretly prayed that my results showed I wasn’t strong enough. I wanted another weekend where I could eat, where I could laugh – I wanted to hear Harry’s voice.

“Your white blood count is teetering on the edge, Avery, but we need to stay ahead of this thing, so we’re going to go ahead with today’s treatment and keep a close eye on things.”

The false hope in me deflated.

Dr Privit had a good chat with us about my symptoms and what I could be expecting in the coming weeks – none of it good. Then she thanked Cooper for coming home, as I had many times.

“No red-soled shoes today, Avery?” she asked, and I knew as well as she did her question had nothing to do with shoes.

I shook my head.

“Her lioness is having a wee rest,” Cooper said. “We’ll wake her soon.”

Suzanna glanced between us before focusing on Cooper. “Sounds like you know your sister well.”

He smiled. “Twin power.”

“Nice. Well, please call if you’re concerned, both as her brother and a doctor.” She rose from her chair to shake his hand.

“I will. Thanks, Doc.”

“You too, Avery. If anything is worrying you or doesn’t feel right, don’t hesitate to call.”

“I will. Thank you.”
