She’ll never forgive me, he thought. I’m going to lose her, lose my baby boy. Lose everything.
At that point her friend came back in from having her fag. She’d only been gone two minutes. Just two minutes and our lives had changed forever.
“Get me out of her” she said to S. She needed to get out of there. Tears streamed down her face as she gathered up her bag and coat to leave.
