Kelley walked groggily out of the bathroom into the open plan living and sleeping area of their motel room. ‘I thought you may feel better today.’

‘Me too.’ She said lying down on the bed.

Ice placed his hand on her brow. ‘At least those cold sweats have disappeared.’

‘Now I’m throwing up.’

‘Just drink water babe. It will stop you from dehydrating.’

‘I will.’

Ice wrapped his arms round her. ‘I’ll keep an eye on you okay till tomorrow okay.’

‘Okay.’ She said closing her eyes.

She slowly opened her eyes, Ice looked at her. ‘How are you feeling babe?’

‘Still a little sick.’

‘Have some water babe.’ He said picking up the glass.

She pulled herself up. ‘Thanks.’ She said taking it off him sipping it. Her stomach churned.

‘You okay babe?’

‘I think I have to..’ She bolted the glass falling into Ice’s hand.

Kelley slothed back into the room jelly legged. Ice looked at her concerned that she wasn’t getting any better. ‘You okay babe?’
