“No wonder you’re megrimmed lying there in the dark!” The woman pulled the curtains open with a flourish. “See, Connor, everything looks better in sunshine.”
Connor didn’t ask how she knew his name. She never requested information. Perhaps he had talked when he was ill.
“Sit up now, there’s soup for lunch.”
Connor was silent. He didn’t want daylight. And he didn’t want soup. And he didn’t want to be in this bed wearing a stranger’s nightshirt. However, he said nothing because speaking would have meant accepting he was alive. And that was one more thing he really didn’t want.

I’ll be away from my computer so this series is taking a short break and will resume in mid-September. Apols, I had thought to have wrapped it up by now - everything got more complicated than expected! Many thanks to all who have taken the time to read and comment. It’s much appreciated.
