Ivy appears on my doorstep with a very wet Wispa in her arms. âI found him,â she gasps, âbut heâs hurt.â Sheâs taken her jacket off and wrapped it around the wounded animal thatâs shaking in her embrace. âI think heâs been bitten. Weâll need to take him to the vetâs office. Donât let Button see him.â
âDonât let me see what?â a little voice calls from behind me. Ivyâs worried eyes enlarge as she locks her gaze on mine.
âIs it bad?â I ask her quietly, and she nods. I turn to my daughter then drop down to her level. She runs into my arms.
âButton,â I say, calmly, âIvy has found Wispa, but heâs hurt. I need to take him to the vet.â
âI want to come,â she shrieks, and tries to pull from my grasp.
âNo,â I tell her firmly. âYou need to stay here with Ivy.â I glance around at the woman Iâve been ignoring for weeks, currently holding my daughterâs pet rabbit. âWould that be all right?â She smiles kindly in answer.
âBut Dadâ¦â Button protests, and I cut her off with a look.
âYou stay here. Iâll take Wispa to the vet then Iâll be home. Go and pick a film the two of you can watch while you wait for me.â I stand and take the now limp animal from her arms. My heart plummets. Please donât be dead. Ivy stuffs her hands into her jeanâs pockets, thereâs a hint of red at her wrist.
âButton,â she says, âIâm going to wash my hands then Iâll be through. You go choose a film.â My little girl hesitates. âOn you go,â Ivy prompts with a smile. âIâll only be a moment.â Button sighs audibly then turns and marches off in the direction of the living room. We both watch her go until sheâs out of sight.
âThereâs a lot of blood,â she whispers to me.
âThank you for finding him,â is all I can bring myself to say. âAnd thank you for staying with Button.â
âAnytime,â she says softly before walking past me and into the kitchen to wash up. I grab my keys from the bowl by the door and rush out to my car. Wispa lies on the passenger seat, still wrapped in Ivyâs jacket. Heâs breathing, just. His body expands and contracts slowly as I drive through the dark streets. Please survive, I beg the poor animal next to me. My little girl canât take another loss, especially after what her mother did last week. She let her down again.
The vetâs practice is in darkness, but I know Dr Johnstone lives next door to the surgery. Quickly, I climb out the driverâs door and retrieve Wispa from his makeshift bed. The porch light flicks on as I approach the front of the house then the door swings open. An elderly woman I know well comes into view. âScott, whatâs happening?â she asks, concerned.
âItâs Buttonâs rabbit. He escaped, and we think heâs been attacked,â I say, hurriedly.
âCome inside,â the Doctor says, calmly. âLetâs take a look.
