Just my take on spoilers for tonight's epsiode.
The Secret Life Of Casualty.
Chapter 543
Charlie's POV
Duffy was in the car and I was just putting the last of her things in the car. Closing the boot, I walked around to the drivers side and got in, putting my belt on and starting the engine, smiling reassuringly at Duffy.
"Where are we going?" she asked, in a childlike voice.
"To the care home, darling. " I replied. I didn't want to put my darling wife, in a building where she knew nobody but I'd still be able to visit and bring Robyn along. The radio is on quietly in the background and I smiled, listening to the song, it was our wedding song, I'd danced with her in my arms, promising faithfully to never give up on her and what was I doing? I was doing exactly that. I was a terrible husband.
I see the care home and pull in to the car park, it's a big building, with grass and flowers, planted by other residents.
"Where are we Charlie?" Duffy asks.
"At the care home," I repeated, turning off the engine.
"I want to go home, Charlie" she says.
Home. This was her home, from now on. She'd never see our house again and that broke my heart.
"Come on, Duf" I tried to coax her out of the car as I would do with my grandaughter, Megan who I haven't seen in a while.
The door to the care home opens and a woman steps out. "I'm Shona, " she says, brightly. "I'm the career here. "
"Hi Shona, I'm Charlie and this is"
"Duffy. " Shona says.
I eventually manage to get Duffy out of the car and in to the house where I sign forms, until Shona leads us both down a corridor, with pictures on the wall, until Shona opens a door to a bedroom. "This will be Duffy's bedroom. "
We step in to a decent sized room, with a single bed, a chest of draw.
Duffy sits on the unfamilar bed. "I want to go home, Charlie"
"I know you do " I tell her, kissing the top of her head. putting her bag down, which I had packed for her, wanting her to feel at home.
"Charlie, it's time to leave now, " Shona tells me.
"Duffy, I love you. " I tell her.
She stares at me, blankly. "Who are you?"
I feel my heart break as Shona pats my arm comfortably. "She's in safe hands, Charlie. "
I nodded, not trusting myself to speak.
Getting in to my car, I allowed a single tear to slip down my cheek, I was leaving my love.
Please let me know what you think.
