Putting on some light makeup to cover the slight redness on my face from last nights embarrassing breakdown, my bedroom door squeaks open noisily overpowering the sound of the water running from the shower in my bathroom which Caroline is currently occupying. Looking in the mirror of my vanity I see the familiar deep brown eyes staring at me clearly expecting an explanation for my behaviour last night,
He clears his throat concern clear in his voice, "So... What happened last night Mad's?", seeing as though I wasn't going to initiate this conversation,
"What do you mean?" I question innocently hoping put off his questions for a little longer to compose myself as a chill runs up my spine at the remembrance of the nightmare last night,
"Maddie."
I stand abruptly turning to meet his inquisitive stare and swallow the bile that managed to fill my throat as the bloody faces of those I love flash into my mind, "Ty, I appreciate the concern please but can we not talk about this right now... please",
He seems to see to hear the desperation in my voice and backs off as he pulls me into a comforting hug. He sighs, squeezing me tightly before pulling away and holding me at arms length "You'll tell me when your ready right?",
"Of course... when I'm ready", I repeat gulping as the images of what I saw rush back imprinted into my memory. At this I know I have to be determined to move stealthily and make logical decisions and create convenient, beneficial and effective alliances to protect my family.
I can't afford mistakes.
