The Guest & the Change
“If Jo was back he’d better have a bloody good explanation of where he’d been. Something terrible would have had to have happened to him, for her to take him back. If he’s just been gone, out of choice, for all this time then that will be it. So great, that means I’ve lost him already, doesn’t it? He’s either dead, and I’ve lost him tragically, or he’s run off and betrayed me, and Megan and Bea - either way I’ve lost him. They’ve lost him. They’re not going to have a father anymore, certai...nly not one who lives with them. Sarah felt her anger building, she felt like hitting something, or running and screaming. Suddenly her chest hit something, Daniel’s arm. He whipped her round to face him, ‘Sarah, what are you doing?’ he said angrily.
‘What?’ She saw his face soften, but she was in such a daze.
‘You were just about to step out in front of that car.’ ‘What car?’ But anger turned to tears, her emotions weren’t going to stay in, she had lost Jo. She couldn’t scream, so she cried. Then Daniel was holding her and stroking her hair, and she balled onto his shoulder, her face against the soft leather of his jacket. Sarah wanted to hug him, to hit him, to kiss him angrily. She felt all over the place. But Daniel just held her, there, by the side of the road, tolerating the concerned glances from strangers.MoreLess
