Chapter 18 – Nobody Heard.
A few days passed and Abby and Carter had received no more nasty surprises. Abby was steadily improving in her rehab sessions and she did no longer have to see Kim. Carter was relishing going back to work. He loved Abby and looking after her was not a burden at all, but he craved a normal routine. He thought Abby needed that as well. They had managed living with each other for twenty-four hours a day, every day, but Carter knew it was only a matter of time before something exploded and he didn't want that. Most couples needed space, and Abby was a private person.
Carter's POV
It's getting a little easier everyday. Abby has been a bit more relaxed about everything since the attacks have stopped. She is enjoying rehab, which is a good sign, and it should lead to good results. She took her first step yesterday. She is still very weak but is exercising everyday to improve that. I'm so proud of her.
Abby's POV
What a week it's been. It's improving all the time though. I'm doing well in rehab, well everyone is telling me I am. Carter is so sweet. He comes and watches me sometimes and is so encouraging. He was by my side yesterday when I took my first step. I know I'm a long way off from a full recovery but I'm feeling quite positive that I'm going to make it.
"Good morning darling" Carter said, walking into Abby's room.
"Good morning, come and lie down next to me for a while"
Carter went and lay down on the bed. He put his arm around Abby and they cuddled each other.
"Mmmmm this is nice" Abby said.
Carter and Abby drifted off to sleep for a little while. Everything had been so hectic lately; they were constantly catching up on sleep. Nobody heard the window of the living room being forced open, the heavy footsteps walking through the house in the direction of Abby's room. Nobody heard the two gunshots, which were masked by a silencer on the gun, and nobody heard the footsteps retreating from the house..........
