“Sir.”Mori’s whisper was muffled against my chest.“I’m so sorry.I miss her.We need her.But that mustn’t worry you.You mustn’t be good to me because of it.”

“Who can I call for you,Mori?”I wasn’t sure what to say.I was nervous of sounding crass.“Who is close to you,who will help you now?”

He shook his head,gently.“No one.I look after them.But thank you for your concern.I just need a moment to recover.”

I tightened my hands on him and let the words flow instinctively from my mouth.“Let me look after you.Come home with me tonight.”
