[Jilly sat in the room, on the floor with her back pressed against the bed. She felt sick. She wanted to scream and hit things and just... pretend that that part of her life never happened, that it really was just one big nightmare...

But oh God, it had felt so real. It was like she was a little girl again and... She pulled herself into a tight little ball, not sure if she should cry or not.]

[Like always, Dick entered the one story house unseen through the back garden, unlatched the double doors and silently, on legs that felt too shaky for someone with perfect balance, made his way to the bedroom he shared with Jilly.

He knocked, cautiously. His voice obviously concerned, but assertive in that he could be the strength he needed right now.]

Jill'?

[There was the flare of panic at the male voice- No, stop, it's Dick, it's all right. It takes her a minute to get some semblance of control on her voice and even then it sounds a little panicked and choked.]

Yeah... Dick- [And the words fail there. She should get up and open the door, but neither of her legs seem to be cooperating.]

[Had he not been - to some extent - prepared just then, her voice would have broken him. Keeping one hand on he door knob, he twisted it and opened it slowly.

The lights were still out, but it didn't take him a minute - moonlight spilling in from he hall - to find her sat not on the bed, but on the floor.

Those shaky legs suddenly felt feather light and he took a few uncertain steps towards her. He crouched down in front of her]

C'mere

[and took her forearms in his hands, he unconsciously drew soothing circles over the skin of her wrists.
