I am totally exhausted. She scoops me into her arms. ‘Come on boy, I will stay with you until you stop shaking. Look, you have a heater above your bed’. She is wrapping us both up in a warm blanket. This feels good. I can feel the warmth of her body and can hear her heart beating. She is gently stroking my head. ‘You are safe now boy, no-one is ever going to hurt you again. I promise’. These words are music to my ears. My eyes are heavy, and I drift off into my first deep sleep in a very long time.
