Monday, 2 October

INDIO STIRRED. SOMEONE WAS calling her. Maybe Ryan was reaching out …

Within a moment her senses were restored, and the sound that was ringing in her ears was all too familiar. Jayze was crying.

But it was no longer a soft whimper as his little body first beckoned, seeking the nurturing warmth and caress of his mother. It was now a full-bellied howl from lack of attention – a demand that could not be ignored. Soon, if she did not move, his high-pitched shrieks would ripple through the apartment and the buildings foundations would be close to shaking, threatening a visit from the neighbours and a call from the real estate agent about unacceptable noise levels. She sighed and looked at her watch. Another hour had passed, and there was no sign of Ryan. As usual, he was never here for his son and she’d have to get up.

This was not the life she had imagined. The day was just crap.
