When I woke up, I noticed that Dax was gone. I was kind of disappointed that he had left my side. Even his scent hadn’t stayed in the bed to bring me comfort. I had expected to see him to stay with me.
Maybe I should’ve enjoyed his company more while I had the chance. I figured Dax wouldn’t have left me until he knew I was all better. He probably had his reasons, but it was so sudden.
After checking the clock, I had noticed that many hours had gone by. At least I had slept a long while. My body had needed the rest desperately.
I was feeling quite better. This surprised me, since I thought I wouldn’t get over my sickness. The nausea wasn’t even around. At least for the moment it seemed gone.
But I wasn’t going to push my luck and try to eat anything yet. That would have to wait until I knew I was absolutely over my sickness. I wasn’t going back to square one with this.
