Leah's POV
It was already midnight at the time we got back to Cristine's house. She had provided me with support as I could barely walk on my own, holding my hands, and wrapping her hands around my waist.
"I'll stay here all through the night." I informed her.
"There's no problem with that."
Kate was already asleep, and was not aware of our presence in the house. We weren't expecting her to be awake, but she had left the doors open. Thieves could barely rob, so that wasn't a problem.
Cristine got two cups of tea from the kitchen, and we sat on the floor, denying the use of the chairs.
"You will feel better with this tea," she said. "You just have to relax yourself. That's only when you can regain strength."
I just nodded, my eyes focused on the tea, taking sips of it into my mouth. The burning lamp had brightened the room, but I could barely see every part of the house.
