I know texting you is a violation of the injunction, but I am almost literally on fire. I’m sitting in the bathtub, breathing through a wet washcloth. I called 999; I don’t think they’ll make it in time.
I never apologised. I wonder if I’d apologised, we’d be in this mess. I would still have hit you, though. I wish I hadn’t hit you. You should see me now – anger management has turned me into a new man. I wish you could have seen him.
So, I’m only texting to tell you that you’ve nothing to fear from me anymore.
Wow.

Yes, it does. And I’ve not really thought about it, to be honest.

I love that the character is so torn. Anger, remorse, and the faint hope that it can all be saved, yet knowing it’s not. Ah, the proverbial rock and hard place.

Thank you! Hope is cruel like that, it refuses to go away.

A change that has come too late! I wonder what her feelings are of his apology…would he have sent the text if he had not been about to die? She will never know, or if he had really turned his life around.Great story.

Thanks, Jessie! I’ve been thinking about her side of the story. I might come back to it at some point…
