The day had come, Serena triumphantly had reached her final therapy session, and she was sure glad of it.

“Serena, I need you to close your eyes and take a few deep breaths, you can re-call that day”

I wasn’t going to let Ric say goodbye, and he didn’t get to say goodbye” Serena paused as a single tear fell down her cheek. “When I came round from the attack, Ric for the first time didn’t care about our babies, he cared about me.
