Iona only wakes up again at eleven thirty-four the next morning. Jesse is still asleep. Iona looks around the room and sees Aunt May standing with her Mom in the doorway.
"Hey Sweetpea, how are you?" Hannad sees that she's awake and walks in. Iona sits up a bit more in the chair and in doing so is met with pain spreading from her neck.
"Hi, Mommy. I'm good thanks. How are you?" Iona tries to shake the sleep from her brain.
"Hey, what's up Buttercup?" May comes over with a cup of something in her hand.
"Hi, Aunty May." Iona smiles happy that she's still talking to her.
"Here this is for you." She hands her the cup.
"Thank you." Iona takes a sip and tastes mint tea. No sugar, no milk. Just the way she likes it. "Mmmm."
She hears her mom and May laughing a bit.
"See I know my niece, " Aunt May smiles.
