‘He’s in the bathroom,’ Hayley said, leading Dr Alistair Preece into the bedroom, but when she saw the figure splayed out on the bed she quickly amended, ‘Oh, I mean he’s in here.’

She stood to one side as the doctor asked Jasper a series of questions, including what he’d eaten in the last forty-eight hours. He also took his blood pressure and some blood to send off for testing, but his diagnosis leaned towards a rather nasty stomach virus that was currently doing the rounds.

‘It should pass in a day or so,’ Dr Preece addressed Hayley. ‘I suggest he stays in bed, push the fluids as tolerated, especially those electrolyte replacement drinks you can get from a pharmacy, but if things don’t improve take him to your nearest outpatients’ department for admission for IV rehydration.’

Hayley saw the doctor out and came back to find Jasper heading back to the en suite. ‘Are you going to be sick again?’

‘No,’ he said. ‘I thought I’d have a shower.’

She made sure he had enough towels and closed the door and went back to strip the bed so she could put on fresh sheets. It took her a few minutes to find them in the linen cupboard further along the hall, but the task was soon completed.

Jasper came back out of the en suite and saw the freshly made bed. ‘You didn’t have to do that,’ he said, frowning slightly.

‘It was no trouble.’ She peeled back the top sheet and turned her back as he dropped his towel. She waited until she was sure he was covered before she turned back round. ‘I’m going to duck out to get some of that fluid-replacement stuff the doctor recommended. That’s probably why your headache is so bad. It’s caused by dehydration. Will you be OK while I’m gone?’

He nodded even though it sent a tremor worthy of the upper end of the Richter scale through his head. ‘Eric left your car keys on the hall table downstairs,’ he said. ‘But you can take mine if you like.’

‘No, I prefer my own. Just close your eyes and I’ll be back as soon as I can.’
