Chapter 4
Helena sighed. Her husband’s sleep apnoea had returned during the past few nights. It didn’t appear to bother him. He slept soundly as he snored and fidgeted. It was Helena who was affected by it the most.
She slipped out of bed and went to the bathroom for a glass of water. Helena was a light sleeper and knew it would be a struggle to get back to sleep. She glanced at her watch. It was just after three. She didn’t relish the thought of almost four hours of lying in darkness trying to get back to sleep. She’d be lucky if she dozed for twenty minutes.
She lay next to her husband and felt how hot his body was. His forehead was clammy and his pillow was damp.
You’d better not be going down with anything, she thought. She was due to attend a conference over the weekend and the last thing she needed was her husband to be ill and not able to look after their two-year-old sons.
She rolled over, closed her eyes and willed sleep to return.
