"I can't go on without a break." She sighed and sagged into the chair.
"Don't tell me you've left him?" asked Marie, looking distressed.
"No," Cassie assured her. "I just need a break to recharge my batteries. Perhaps get some fresh ideas."
"Does he know that?" asked her father.
"Dad, I've no idea how much of what I tell him goes in. He doesn't really react or answer me."
"Shall I ring him?" asked Marie. "He'll talk to me. I know he will."
"If you want to," said Cassie. "Can't hurt. Do it about six. He's normally awake then."
"You do look really tired and drawn, my darling," her mother said, all concern for her daughter's health. "It's lovely to have you here. Perhaps Marie can persuade him to come as well?"
"I think there's little chance of that," Cassie said despondently. "He won't leave the house."
Marie tried to ring Ged, but it rang and then the answer phone told him he was not available. There was no invitation to leave a message. She tried every day for four days, but the result was the same, so she gave up.

Anonymousover 5 years agoPoor Cassie, her life is so hard. She has to suffer living in a mansion with the rich man she wants to marry. She promised to help him until he's recovered from being stomped by her husband, but now he's in deep depression and it's not fun... so she bails, running home to mummy and daddy for sympathy.
I suppose if they ever get married, and Ged appears to be stupid enough to do it, they can forget the part of their vows about the whole "in sickness and in health" thing.
She didn't line up anyone to help him, didn't hire a nurse, didn't find a temporary housekeeper. She abandons her "lover" - clinically depressed and physically handicapped, with NO support whatsoever - while she goes home to "relax". She's willing to love him as long it's easy, fun, and he's spending time worshiping her. She'll even do the hard stuff, as long as it doesn't take too much effort or last very long.
Wow. Her kind of love the world can do without. She's played the spoiled little princess throughout the whole story, but she's finally proven she'll never love anyone as much as she loves herself. Ged should boot her to the curb and find a real lady to love him - but I bet the author will have them marry and live happily ever after. Sad, really.
Anonymousalmost 6 years agoIn which our female lead abandons the man she loves to dangerous isolation while suffering from clinical depression, because gee shucks her life is too hard.
You write stupendous and enthralling stories, but you also always heap disproportionate amounts of pain on your male lead and then surround him with people who want him to think that someone else has it just as bad. A little more sympathy for the suffering would be nice.
Anonymousover 8 years agobut this story has about as much life left as Ged and Cassie's relationship. Just do the honorable thing here. This story's on life support, but there is no longer any evidence of brain function. Time to pull the plug.
