Skye

Hackers?

Me

Don’t know and don’t care how they did it. I only care they got you back.

Skye

Super smart.

Me

They are. Can I come see you when you get out?

Skye

I’m staying at Mom and Dad’s for a couple of days. Mom’s decided no visitors, so I can rest and recover.

Me

Okay.

Disappointment at not getting to see her for a few days is something I’m used to.

Me

Have you been able to sleep?

Skye

A little. I’m tired, but my mind won’t switch off.

Me

I’m in bed now. I know it’s only midday, but I haven’t slept properly since you went missing.

Skye

Mom said you slept sitting up in the waiting room.

Me

I did. My neck and shoulders are killing me. Want to have a snuggle together?

Skye

How do we do that?

I take a photo of myself lying on my side and send it to her.

Me

Take a photo of yourself and send it to me.

Skye

But I look terrible.
