"Fay?" The door creaked.
The further she slipped into unconsciousness, the more distant the tiny voice sounded.
"Fay?!" Sophie called, this time in alarm.
She dashed forward, and hugged Fay's legs. Her touch made Fay jerk. Her eyes snapped open, and she looked down to see a little thing hugging her legs.
It took her a couple of seconds to fully regain awareness. When she did, her eyes widened. "Sophie?"
"Are you okay, Fay? Your eyes were closed, and you looked like you were about to fall to the ground," she said, sounding like she was about to burst into tears.
"Of course I'm fine, Sophie. I was just a little distracted."
She picked her up from the ground, and carried her in her arms.
"Am I not too heavy?" She asked shyly, burying her face in Fay's gown.
Fay chuckled. "A little," she said. In truth, she wasn't all that heavy. But she definitely did notice some weight gain on her cheeks.
