"Stop thinking so loud," Talia complained from her bed. "You're giving me a headache."
I walked over to her side. Brushed my hands down her face. "I can give you some more meds. Jessa said the thallium treatment can make you nauseous."
She shook her head. "I don't want anything else inside me that the goddess didn't put there."
I snorted softly.
She smiled, peeked up at me through her lashes. "Except you. I think she meant for you to be there."
