Christine was too preoccupied to chat. Instead, she stood at the door with her hands on her hips, fiercely cursing Margaret until she stormed off.

"Finally, she's gone. What a relief.” Christine then returned, tuckingin. "Get srest. I'll keep an eye on the IV." | "Okay." Whether it was the fever or the medication, I fell into a deep sleep.

Christine wokeup for a light meal in the evening, and then I drifted off again.

It was the best sleep I'd had in a long time. Yet, in the middle of the night, and caught between sleep and wakefulness, I thought I heard familiar footsteps.
