Summary
“I know it wasn’t your idea, Susan.”
“Well it wasn’t Jack’s, either, Captain.”
She had him, there, because it wasn’t Jack’s idea: it was Charlotte’s. Charlotte claimed that, while doing some of her recommended exercise, she’d gone up to Jack’s floor for a visit. Upon reading some of the literature left at his bedside about recovering from traumatic brain injury, she’d realised that a holiday at Halstead was just the thing. It offered clean air and quiet, a full-time staff, and a supportive environment. After all, as Charlotte pointed out, if Jack went back to his flat and tried to resume life as usual, he’d soon be carousing with friends all night and set his recovery back weeks if not months.
(“Don’t you think so, Susie?” Charly had asked her, and Susie blinked her wide blue eyes in the way she only did when another person had a surprisingly good point to make, and Eddie felt the jaws of a trap close down over him.)
