CHAPTER 72

  Ember's POV

  I don't know how long I had slept for but when I opened my eyes my neck screamed in protest at the angle that I had fallen asleep in.

  I winced as I brought my hand up to rub at it absent mindedly as I ran my eyes over Becky's still sleeping form. She at least appeared to be breathing a little better now, and appeared to be a slightly better color from what I could make out in the dim lighting of the room.

  I was hesitant to move her, but my legs were screaming in protest from being curled in such an awkward position for too long.

  Lifting her head as gently as I could, I carefully maneuvered myself out from underneath her, and lay her head back on the mat as gently as I could. She moaned lightly in her sleep, her brows furrowing as she turned onto her side slightly.
