"You should go home and get some proper rest" Jac said as Fletch yawned
They had spent a long time enjoying the good weather outside and just chatted about nothing, comfortable in each other's company as they always had been. Now it was late evening and Jac didn't want Fletch spending the night on a plastic chair by her bed.
"I suppose so". Fletch agreed stretching "I am at work tomorrow as well"
"I'll have a goodnight kiss and a hug if you don't mind Mr Fletcher"
"I don't mind at all Ms Naylor"
Fletch climbed onto the bed and wrapped her in his arms. Then he kissed her, slow and sensuous. When they finally parted they were both breathing heavily, both turned on
"Wow" said Fletch "that felt... god I don't even have words"
"I know" said Jac gently stroking his chest "think you'd better go Fletch"
He sat back down "I just need a minute, can't walk out of here with a stonking boner on can I?!"
Jac giggled blushing a little "probably best not" she agreed
"Too sexy Naylor. Anyway I'll come down before work tomorrow ok?"
"Ok" she smiled. "Love you"
"Love y0u" Fletch said finally able to leave
Jac was really tired. It had been a long day. She closed her eyes and sleep came quickly and with sleep came the church yard
She looked down, still the wedding dress. Pristine almost dazzlingly white. She realised she was cold, the sky was overcast and was that snow in the air?
She shivered and went to the church to take shelter, she could hear voices in there. She tried the door which was locked. She knocked - no answer. She hammered on the door with her fists
Let me in please. Please I'm so cold
The snow was now falling heavily and Jac was becoming frantic. She tried to shelter as much as she could in the church door way. She realised if she listened carefully she could catch snippets of conversation
The Morocco patient is dead Roxanna's voice you can't carry on John. You know that already this might also kill Jac
She couldn't make out Gaskell's reply but recognised his voice
I have to leave the trial. I can't be associated with this. But first we need to save Jac said Roxanna
Suddenly Jac became aware of someone approaching. It was hard to make out who it was as the snow was reaching blizzard conditions now. When she realised she let out a sob
Fletch. Fletch
Jac he took off his thick coat and placed it around her shoulders, at the same time enveloping her in a tight embrace
You need to get warm Jac. We're trying to save you. I'm trying to save you
Then he was gone
Fletch. Come back, where did you go? What do you mean trying to save me
From the inside she could hear Sacha there must be something you can do, she has a little girl at home
Emma. She hadn't seen her for days since coming back into hospital
Jac woke with a start "I need to see Emma" she said out loud
