When Agatha woke up once again, it was already morning with sunlight peeking in through the window.
There was no sign of Xavier in the room as if everything was just her dream and nothing else. Even that side of the bed seemed cold as if no one slept there the previous night.
Agatha sat up straight perplexed by the thin line between dream and reality when Lilac woke up and snuggled into her arm like a cat. Her focus was diverted back to the little girl in her arms.
"Good morning." Agatha tried to greet Lilac. Lilac remained quiet, clasping her small lips. Agatha noticed Lilac barely speaks to her.
"G-g..ood M-m..o-morning…" Lilac answered with a stammered voice. Her eyes were tearful and her face flushed red. Agatha ignored it, patting her back. Lilac saw the beaming smile on Agatha's face; it didn't show annoyance or disgust towards her. Just a smile that seemed happy to see her talk.
