Kelley walked out of the bathroom after being sick for the fourth time this morning. Ice looked at her. ‘I guess you’re still not up for travelling?’

‘I must’ve picked up a bug or something.’

‘Come here.’

Kelley walked slowly, and lethargically over to Ice lying down next to him on the bed. Ice looked down on Kelley, her brow sweaty, and clammy. He placed a cold compress on her forehead. ‘It looks like you’ve got the flu babe.’

‘I’m sorry Ice.’

‘It’s cool babe. I’ll square it with manager to see if we can use the room till the end of the week.’

‘What about Ash?’

‘If they’ve moved on, we’ll keep searching till we find them.’

‘Go on without me.’

‘We’re in this together babe.’

‘but…’

‘Rest a while okay. I doubt you’ll want anything to eat?’

‘No thanks, maybe a drink.’

‘Sure babe.’ He pulled himself up going over to the table pouring some water into a glass.

He picked it up taking it over to her. ‘Here you go babe.’
