Too Slow

When Gwen came home, Rhys took one look at her and opened his arms. Cuddled her on the sofa, making comforting noises.

She said, "There was a little boy. Jody. Four years old. Playing with his red truck. We were chasing a Weevil. Seemed we had it, but it jumped the fence where Jody was playing. The Weevil didn't hesitate, just clawed him before we reached it, blood everywhere."

"Poor lad."

"Our fault, Rhys. We were too slow."

"You saved the next tyke in its path," said Rhys. "And the one after that. Be proud, my brave love. Be proud."

I think she is. I love Rhys and it's great to get an opportunity to write something with him in it.
