Chapter 8


Nancy opened her eyes and was greeted by his smiling face, with a hint of concern on it.

"Welcome back. What happened Nance?"
"What do you think happened? What usually happens to whores" She muttered through swollen lips.
"Any idea who it was?"
"No" resting her head against the pillow she took his hand in hers. "Bill I missed ya"
"I missed you too. Ill look after you Nance I promise.

A warm feeling of being wanted engulfed Nancy. She was back with Bill. He was smiling, he was promising to look after her, everythin would be fine.
He leaned foward placing an affectionae kiss on her lips, she winced but smiled and went to return it.

A knock interupted both of their plans.
"Oh your awake! We were a bit worried weren't we Bill?"

Nancy looked at Alzelma, everything hitting home at once. Thing would never be the same, he was married.

"How are you feeling?"
"Fine" she said in a flat emotioneless voice.
"Good, your welcome here as long as you need a bed" With that Alzelma left as quickly as she entered.

"Nance..."

She turned to face the wall "Go away Bill. Everytime you get my hopes up, you always make promises you cant keep"
"I'll keep this one Nance...I Love ya" It was a pathetic attempt to win back her trust, he knew but he meant it.

Taking her hand in his he kissed it, then her lips and she threw her arms around his neck. Things may not be great she thought but its a start.
