Chapter 11
Nora couldn’t leave her bed for several day. Blake had called Hank who came over right away, he and Viki were tag teaming taking care of her. She was all cried out and just numb. Hank tried to get her to eat a few times but she refused. The phone was ringing constantly. She knew it had to be Bo, but she couldn’t speak to him. It hurt to much.
In the afternoon Larry showed up.
“Hey Nora, Hank called me. He is really worried that you haven’t eaten.”
She shrugged. Larry started to take her vitals. He looked at her with concern.
