Chapter 42 - Keep Your Distance

(CORRINE)

It takes me three days to recover.

Maya is a constant presence in my home, refusing to leave me by myself. "What if you fall over in the bathroom or something else happens to you? Jerry told me your insides are still healing. No, I'm not going anywhere."

"Hmm. I thought he would force his way in, like last time," Maya muses over breakfast. "By the way, he's the one who kicked that hole in your door. How'd you get it fixed so fast?"
