Chapter 114

• Abigail sat at the table all morning in the dressing gown while Cliff buzzed around her, getting her coffee, juice, a full cooked breakfast, toast, cereal, anything he could think of. And Abigail guzzled it all up. Cliff was really glad that she hadn't lost her appetite.
• During this time they talked and talked about all sorts of things except what had happened or what might have happened the previous day. Abigail didn't want to raise it and Cliff was desperate to keep her mind off it all. But this was the first time they had really had a chance just to chat together at all. And the more they talked, the more they got to like each other.
• For the rest of the day, Abigail and Cliff just chilled around the apartment. Cliff explained that he wasn't going to college or training for the last day of the week and just wanted to spend time chilling with her, and to make sure she was OK. Abigail had a shower and got dressed into a casual sweatshirt and joggers, and they just slobbed around, listening to music, watching rubbish on the TV and just chatting as friends. Cliff was very attentive and always fetched her drinks and snacks as she needed.
