Jenny

Wednesday, 18th September

Chloe rushed into the waiting room in a flurry of brown ringlets, her cheeks flushed. ‘Any news?’ she asked.

‘Nothing yet,’ I said.

‘I’m so pleased you called me, Jen.’ She looked panicked, and I saw her eyes welling up with tears.

‘I should have told you at the start. Come here,’ I said. She hugged me tightly.

‘I’ve been going out of my mind. Thinking Chris had started having second thoughts about us. It never crossed my mind that it could be this, his health. And now – God, I nearly crashed my bike twice on the way over here. He is such an idiot to put himself through this on his own.’

‘We agree on that, then.’

‘How much longer till we hear?’ Chloe asked, perched awkwardly on the edge of the plastic hospital chair.

‘I don’t know,’ I said. ‘But long enough for a coffee. Can I get you one?’

She nodded, biting her lip. ‘OK then, thanks. Actually maybe a herbal tea, if they have one. I feel sick, Jen. To think of him in there.’
