Sometimes, when the timing was off, everything seems unnecessary.
It was as if | was looking in a mirror and seeing my former self reflected in
him
"Charlotte, open the door. I've got a glass of milk for you."
Ryan stood at the door, knocking. "The servant said that you didn't sleep at all last night."
If I didn't open the door, he would keep knocking.
Just like at the dining table, if | didn't eat, he wouldn't letleave.

couple of games?" "You don't have a charger? | can lend you one."

hospital these days? Have the medications helped any?"
| didn't look up. "Much better."
"There are a lot of orders lately. You haven't taken your eyes off the drawing board. During breaks, look at green
things more, and play less on your phone. Be careful, or you might need a guide dog when you go out."

telling me?
She shook her head vigorously, "No."

| jumped up suddenly, my movement so abrupt that | twisted my ankle slightly.
But | seemed not to feel the pain, runni happened to Megan?"
"I don't know. She just said something
"It seems like her brother is in trouble."
