certainly take a while before they could both feel confident about the future. However, it wasn’t an impossible task by any means. In time, Chris’s cracked bones would heal, and with a lot of effort from the two of them, the cracks in their relationship might also heal. Only time would tell.
Chapter Fifteen
It was now three months since the accident, and things in the Morris household were very different indeed. Chris’s injuries were almost fully healed, and although he would have to take it easy on his foot for some time to come, he was getting around much better. He no longer needed the wheelchair or the crutches, and although he still got the odd twinge of pain in his ankle, most of the time he was fine. The accident had forced both Chris and Angie to reassess their priorities and discover exactly what was most important to both of them. They unanimously agreed that nothing was more important than their relationship.
Chris’s first step was to make a commitment to avoid overtime whenever possible. He had also begun to make proper plans for the future. Signing up for a few carefully selected part time courses, once completed Chris would have the necessary knowledge to be able to start his own business. Even taking into account the time he spent studying, Chris still managed to spend more time with Angie than before, and it was quality time too. Doing regular hours meant that Chris no longer fell asleep every night on the sofa. Once Chris learned to say ‘no’ to Kenny Blackett, the grumpy boss had to find someone else to take the extra shifts.
Meanwhile, Angie increased her freelance work and took on a lot more writing assignments. They might never be millionaires, but they’d at least be able to enjoy life together. They were now putting their happiness together above everything else. With the help of their trusty computer, Angie helped Chris to brush up on world events that he’d forgotten. Although he would never make a top history student, Angie made sure that Chris could get by on what he’d learned. There were now fewer occasions where Chris was left puzzled as to what people were talking about, so he could comfortably hold a conversation without ending up embarrassed. Life was looking up for the couple, and although one should never really think of an accident as a good thing, the accident had changed everything. They had been stuck on a route that was leading them to the divorce courts. Had it not been for the accident, they would have most likely continued to bicker and argue. They would have continued to talk at each other, rather than to each other. They had just about given up on the marriage counseling, and just about given up on their marriage. Then came the accident.
Angie gave Chris a small present four weeks after he’d come back home again. It was a wall plaque she’d had specially made for him. To the left side of the plaque was a photograph of his grandmother. To the right side was a picture of them on their wedding day. In the center was a beautifully written inscription of Chris’s favorite quote.
‘A winner never quits and a quitter never wins’
No matter what the future had in store for them, neither Angie nor Chris intended to be a quitter, ever.
