The Hybrid
At least I will have James by my side.
The next few days pass like a blur, but gradually, Mr Grumpy starts to get stronger. By now he is able to walk on his own, albeit slowly around the house. We fall into a new normal, with very little talking. Mostly, I stay out of his way and spend my time outside. I don’t venture too far, but with my sharpened stick, I try to find a way out of this place.
The sun is already setting when I return to the cottage, disappointed, sweaty and frustrated. I halt in my steps when I see Grumpy standing by the door, a deep frown on his face, his body on high alert.
