I smiled down at Suki when she parted her lashes later that morning, and she did, seeming genuinely exhausted as she gazed up at me.
"Hello, there," I said then, smirking. "Sleep well?"
She never responded, just watched me lazily.
"I bet you did," I said then. "It's eleven o'clock. I knew you were tired."
She just closed her eyes again, making my lips part.
But she suddenly coughed, and I blinked at the action.
She gazed up at me then, looking even more exhausted.
Her nose was runny, too—she was sniffling—her eyes were all teary, and her color of her face was shifted... something was wrong.
My brows drew together. "Are you alright?"
She coughed again, but this time a small wheeze slipped through, making me sit up immediately.
I gazed down at her, concerned. "Suki, are you okay?"
She just sniffled and shook her head.
"What happened?" I said then.
"I don't feel good..." she said quietly. "My heart hurts, so does my muscles, and my stomach hurts, too."
I just helped her lay on her back, and she coughed a third time when I pressed the back of my hand to her forehead.
"You're burning up..." I said quietly, brushing her bangs back in place. "It must be an illness of some sort."
It would make sense... she never slept; she was out in the cold for a while which made her immune system weaken. I made her exercise...
Yes, this was probably a cold or a flu.
I stood then and walked over to the fridge, leaning down to pull a water bottle out.
When I made it back to her, I set it on her forehead.
She lightly caught it and held it in place. "Keep it there for a moment or two, alright?"
She nodded.
"Give me one second," I told her.
And I vanished.
A second later, I appeared in a Walgreens store.
I didn't waste a second.
I dashed over to the health section, grabbing thermometers, ice packs, meds, and other medical supplies, not bothering to pay, I vanished again.
And I reappeared back at the motel room.
Suki gazed over at me hazily.
After placing the ice packs in the freezer, I sat on the bed beside her and pulled the water bottle off her head.
