Instead, I woke to distant mooing from a property down the road, and Jack or Elise’s cry for another feed. Shit what is the time? I felt quite drowsy, like I’d slept for days. God I hope I didn’t sleep for days, surely not. I reached out to the bedside table, fumbling as I attempted to pick up my phone. I had turned it on silent last night with the express purpose of getting some sleep, and with the hope I would wake up with a magical make-over and no evidence of the drama-filled day I experienced the day before. I finally managed to secure the phone with my still half-asleep hands, when I noticed a message from Rick. Alexis, I am on my way to see the kids today. I know you don’t want to see me, but I haven’t seen them for a week, and I have a feeling I won’t see them for another. I would really like to talk to you, just the two of us, but no pressure. - Rick The first thing I noticed after reading the message was the lack of anger that yesterday had raged within. Wow, that must have been a good night’s sleep...
