Tara was about to pour the boiled water into the teapot when she had to put the kettle back down on the kitchen counter to press a hand to her stomach. “Shit,” she gasped and leaned forward, letting a slow breath out. She and her husband had battled through three days of the stomach flu together but even though the dilemma of which end to aim at the toilet first had passed, the crampy stomach just wouldn’t let up. She moved to the sink and filled a glass from the drying rack with water and gulped him down.
Lachlan came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. He kissed the side of her neck and watched the water disappear at rapid pace. “You okay, sweetheart?” he asked. “Is your stomach still hurting? Why dinnae you go sit down and I’ll make the tea?”
( “No. I mean, yeah, but no.” Tara scrunched her nose up with a sigh... )
