The Same Deep Water
“says Jen.
Her out of the blue comment surprises me, interrupting my half-hearted viewing of the news as we sit together in our lounge room. “Guy?”
“Yeah. Something about him was off.”
“I expect so, since he’s dying.” I look at my phone for the tenth time in as many minutes, waiting for a response from Erica.
Jen’s silence doesn’t last long. “He looked fine to me.”
“Doesn’t mean he is.”
No message.
“So where is he?”
“In hospital?”
“Where?”
“I don’t know.”
... “He didn’t say?”
I look at Jen with an expression that tells her to shut up. “No. I haven’t seen him since that night two weeks ago. Like you said, he’s gone.”
