After the statement was over I just couldn't face walking back down that corridor. I've never felt so anxious in my life, even though he was now in custody.
"We don't have to go back there if you don't want, I'll find us another hotel for the night and drive back in the morning." How did he seem to know what I'm thinking before I've said it.
"Please I don't think I can walk back in there." He smiled back at me getting out the car to get our stuff to leave. I waited in the car thinking it would be the best thing to do. Was I ever so wrong. A sudden wave of panic at being alone swept over me, I couldn't catch my breath. I knew I was having a panic attack but I could do nothing to stop it. I tried closing my eyes, slowing my breath but that just caused me to see his face coming towards me and the fear was back.
"Jac! Jac are you okay!" I felt hands grab hold of my arms and my eyes shot open. Thank god it was Fletch. I almost instantly felt relief.
"I was alone and I felt like he was watching me." Feeling Fletch pull me into a comforting embrace. I felt safe again, because of him.
"Thank you." I whispered to him as he placed a gentle kiss into my forehead.
"Let's get out of here, I found a nice hotel and booked a room." Taking the key from me and starting my car.
"You crash my car I'll be after you. No matter how emotionally unstable I am at the time." I joked laughing for the first time that day.
