Chapter 24: September 5th Bretton Woods, Room 702 7am Jim lay awake in his bed as the light of the new day started to creep around the edges of the curtains, with Kelly splayed unconsciously across his torso. The feel and weight of her warm body against his generated a physical sense of contentment and calm within him. He looked down as her back gently rose and fell with her breath. A pang of guilt crept into his consciousness, he knew that his wife was no longer with him but emotionally it still felt like a betrayal. What if she were looking down on him now?

This was one of those chances and he needed to leave his grief and guilt behind. He felt Kelly’s body stir and he looked down as she raised her head.
