AEMIN
"I want to see Rinei."
"She's fine."
"I want to see her."
The tips of her eyes narrow. Arlen lightly steps down from the windowsill, the silky hem of her gown nearly touching the floor. Her blonde locks sparkle with the sun.
"Do you not trust me when I tell you that she is perfectly safe?"
"I believe you," I say. "But still. It's a new environment for her."
She smirks. "Hate to break it to you, angel. But your sister seems more resilient than yourself."
I frown. "That's not true."
"Just rest." She waves at the bed in the center of the room. "I'll leave you alone if you'd like."
My eyes flicker.
I was tired. But I couldn't sleep.
Because I was too afraid of what I might see in my dreams if I did. And I didn't want to remember.
I just wanted to forget, and bury the memory
