Stephie was annoyed that Josie wouldn't spend the rest of the night at the hospital with her, but Josie couldn't bear it. Maybe on another night she could have stayed, drinking hospital coffee and watching late night telly or slaughtering each other at whatever card game they both thought they could remember, but not tonight.
Stephie should have been enough but she wasn't. Josie felt a craving for Jinx that no one else could satisfy, and it wasn't just sex and she really hoped it wasn't for his soul... it didn't feel like that sort of craving. She was shaking with exhaustion and the shock of finding a body and sitting with it - him - watching him for what felt like
hours before the helicopter arrived.
