There I was again, slumped over the toilet seat with my eyes weighed closed. The back of my throat burned from the stomach acid once there, yet no amount of water would soothe the sting. My body felt like it had just done 100 crutches and my chest clutched onto itself so hard it hurt. A knock could be head on the bathroom door but it fell deaf to my ears. "Grian?

My senses were immediately assaulted by the soft smell of raspberry honey.

"Oh G... come'er" She lifted me up with ease and carried me back to my bed. In front of me she set three different books. "Which one?"

Her heart melted with pure joy the feathered man thought of her to be that close. She flicked the lights off and slowly closed the door. Xisuma stole her glance. "Is he okay?" He whispered, clearly worried. "Mhm. He's sleeping now. He breathed a sight of relief.

"Thanks cleo."
