I woke later that day with a splitting headache. Groaning, I shift in bed and instantly feel someone sit beside me. "Simone?" I hear Thrain's deep voice.
"My head hurts…"
"The doctor is on his way to bring you some Advil," he says softly.
"I don't want the doctor!" I hiss.
"Do you want me to get Reed?" I nod and he's silent for a long time. Then, "Reed is coming. It'll take him a few minutes because he's at the house with Corey."
I groan some more and Thrain puts his hand in mine, squeezing a little. I ask after a minute, "Is she really alive?"
"Who?"
"My mother. Didn't you see her?"
"No, I didn't see her, but Corey did, and he says she is definitely alive."
I open my eyes finally to look at him. "What's going to happen?"
He smiles solemnly. "I don't know, Luna. I don't know."
