Chapter 18
After all the formalities, the medical check-ups and the paperwork, the entire night had passed and most of the following day.
They had all tried but Sam remained distant, she never talked about it, the doctors said she was in shock from the trauma. They all tried hard to make it easier for her, but this was never going to be easy. Despite everything he was a huge part of her life and he was gone; never to return, never to hit her again, never to make her feel small and weak, but never to love her either. There is no longer a chance he'll change, there is no longer a chance he'll return to the man he once was; the man she knew he could be.
It was over, some people say 'nothing ends well, else it wouldn't end', sometimes people are right. Jonas Hanson ends here, with the woman he believed he loved; being a man he hated; after being willing to betray the country he served.
Finally everybody left late that evening, finally she was alone. Sam cried then, she cried for Jonas, most people she knew would have said he wasn't worth her tears, but she cried for the man he could have been.
She drafted a letter, and set her alarm for 5am. She'd need to be in early to deliver it, then she slept in the large bed unafraid but alone.
Sorry it short - more tommrow!
