I turn to the bedside table where there is a litre bottle of water and two tablets. I gulp the water until there is only half left and take the two tablets with a sip of water. I put the bottle back on the table and roll over in bed. Matt isn't there. Oh, a few more hours sleep sound so good. I bury my head in the pillow and drift to sleep. ~~~~~ Matt I checked on Casey at 10am and she was still asleep so I decided to go for a run. The weather was mild and there were quite a few runners out since it is Saturday morning. I pushed myself harder and faster than I should have because I can feel muscles starting to ache. All that kept running through my mind was how to keep Casey safe. I’m back at home and I’m dripping with sweat so I peel my t-shirt above my head. I look at my watch – 11:30am and she is still sleeping off her hangover. I decide making her something to eat will help her battle her hangover, and the smell of food may wake her. The clanging of pans in the kitchen wakes Casey.
