I couldnt have moved even if Id wanted to .”I realized that he was serious. “I was relying on you to call a doctor assoon as you came home.” Jack went on.” It hasnt bitten me yet but I darentdo anything to upset it. It might wake up. Im sick of this,” he said, :”I took it for granted that you would have come home an hour ago.” There was no time to argue or apologize for being late.
