3 Assumptions Beth Made About Jack Kerruish
He won’t stay. Kerruish’s been in Africa, seen the world, pokey little Cardale can’t compete. This “simple country doctor” fancy won’t last a month. But she’ll give him two.
He’s moved on. Later, after Jack has settled Karen into bed, his heart cracks and bleeds over her floor and Beth’s never regretted an assumption more.
Jack’s a cuddler. Beth sees him with patients, comforting pats on shoulders, holding terrified children’s hands. She’s very pleased to be proven right when he drapes himself over her chilled form. It’s worth wrestling his octopus arms later to feel so warm and safe now.
