"I am alright. I think I'm too tired." Anxia took an extended breath to calm herself down. "Elliot, I'm going to take a little walk outside. We'll meet in the corridor on my bedroom floor tonight. Is that good?"
Elliot nodded in agreement and let his mother go without glancing at Jamie. Elliot looked at Jamie with a questioning look while Jamie shrugged her shoulders, indicating she knew nothing about Anxia's sudden strange behavior.
'I believe my mother has started to accept you.' Elliot began to talk to the woman through his hand gestures.
Jamie smiled gently at the little boy and moved her hand in response to the boy's comment.
'Yes. She has accepted me. I can feel it from her embrace.'
'Then what happens? Why is she turning pale?'
Jamie shook her head in response and then invited Elliot to sit with her by Elliot's grandfather's bed.
'Have you thought about it?' Jamie asked little Elliot, who looked at her in confusion.
