Dinner was a simple affair and Adam was put to bed not long afterward. Everyone sat around talking until Al said he needed to sleep now because he needed an early start tomorrow. Katie gave him a quick but affectionate kiss as she sent him off.
Blaise excused himself at the same time because he intended to join Al and meet the potential Kanta delegate. So Abby and Katie were left talking, joking, and reminiscing late into the night.
There weren't any clocks here aside from the big clock tower in town so she wasn't sure what time they finally went to bed. Only that it was sometime after 3 AM because the three bongs indicating the time had gone off a while ago.
Abby fell asleep both exhausted and more fulfilled than she had been since she thought Katie died. The next day she found out what her sister's schedule was normally like.
