Thirty-three weeks of diloxin treatments.
She’d lost her appetite, her hair, her free will.
Thirty-three bottles of pills.
Like miniature soldiers fighting a war, they held the line, awaiting her command.
They were losing.
She stared at the small pharmacy of meds on the table. Then taking a deep breath, she swept them into the trash and hoped he would understand.

All she had left.

It was all about timing.
Time.
Hers with him was now.
Jump.
