Chapter 171: My Saturated Heart

A long day of training leaves me sore and aching all over.

I gave it my all today in particular, my effort partly evident in the amount of time I spent on the training field, that being almost eight hours.

Several times Celine had urged me to quit for the day, but I refused till my body couldn't handle it any longer.

Celine just about dragged me the rest of the way, till we got into the car.

Well, carried me, with no effort whatsoever.

Our drive is for some reason unbeknownst to me, very peaceful.

Probably because I'm lying on Celine's lap, like a child just about ready to turn in for the night while still driving.

My head several times creeps towards areas in my brain I don't want it to.

I can't handle this, I can't handle any of it, not now, presumably...not ever.

I sigh as my lids become heavier.

But I don't want to give in to my exhaustion.

I don't want Celine carrying me to my room like an infant.
