“I’m a woman. Sandwich making is a skill we’re born with. If you tell anyone I said that, you’ll be making your own sandwiches for the next ten years. Got it?”
“Your secret is safe with me baby.”

“Baby is a term of endearment. It’s what you called me when you loved me. Every time you say it now, it rips another piece of my heart out and quite frankly, I don’t have very many pieces left.”
“I still love you Melody.”
My head jerked up and I burned his baby blues with my own.
“So you say, but it didn’t stop you from walking out, did it? Pardon me for saying this, but I thought that you’d learned how to love someone from watching your parents. I can’t imagine either of them walking out on the other for any reason. Those two are rock solid Anton.”

“I went crazy without you Melody and you weren’t doing so well yourself. I’ve come to the conclusion that we can’t be apart. We may fuss and fight, but I’d rather fight with you than live without you.”

“Anton, are you tired?”
“Tired? Fuck no, I’m not tired. Not yet anyway. Give me an hour or two and ask me again.”
“You look tired. You look like you could use a hot shower and a nap. In our bed. With me. For the rest of the night.”

“Anton walked to the bed and saw a tuft of blonde hair poking out from under the covers. He touched her shoulder and she didn’t move. He shook her and called her name. She still didn’t move. He ripped the covers from her body and pulled her into his arms.
“Mel’? Mel’, wake up baby. I need to talk to you.”
He began to shake her and that’s when he noticed how thin she was. He put his cheek against her mouth and felt her rapid and shallow breathing.
He put her back on the bed and felt for a pulse. It was there, but it was rapid and faint.
“Oh shit Melody! Wake the fuck up Mel’! You’re scaring me baby, wake up!”
He took her in his arms and stroked her hair away from her face while he cried tears of frustration and searched for his cell phone. He needed to call for help, but he couldn’t bring himself to let her go.
He tapped “911” with one hand and held her close with the other. He pulled her onto his lap to give her the warmth she was lacking, and that’s when he noticed how loose the ankle monitor had become.
His hands started shaking and he tucked her face against his neck.
“Baby please wake up and talk to me. I love you Mel’. I love you so much, please wake up and tell me that you can hear me.”
