The doctor left and the two of them s at quietly on the bed watching Wendy who had collapsed from exhaustion
BrittanyreachedoutandgentlytouchedWendy’sdelicateface.”Shespenttwohoursgivingmeneedletherapyjustnow.Sheworeherselfoutforme.Webarelyknoweach other,butshe’sbeensokind.Idon’tevenknowhow torepayher.”
Horace tried to reassure her She ll be fine
I don t know why but I feel a strange closeness to Wendy It s like I want to spend all my time with her Brittany said softly
Horace nodded Honestly he felt the same way
Brittany s thoughts drifted to Jessica Jessica is now under Ida s influence That woman is using her against us Watching Jessica so lost and caught on the wrong path just breaks my heart If only she were more like Wendy

This time though Jessica had crossed a line She was clearly in league with Ida
Horace knew Brittany was the most heartbroken of all After all she had nearly died giving birth to Jessica
He put an arm around Brittany s shoulders gently patting her It ll be okay
