Bedroom

One night after the three had dinner, Calla retired to her room.

Theron on the other hand wanted to sleep in his spare bedroom but Meara stopped him.

"Sleep here with me. This is your room anyway and your bed is big and comfy."

"Now that you're out of danger, I can be at ease to leave you to rest on your own. You can transfer to the bedroom beside Calla."

"No, I'm still sick. I need you here." Meara pleaded.

Just then, a series of thunder roared in the skies and Meara paled. The sound of heavy rain downpour was heard. She suddenly remembered when she was left alone in her courtyard and the sudden rain drenched the whole house.

Theron saw fear in her eyes. He immediately sat down and hugged her.

"Okay, okay. I will be here. Come on, relax... I will bring your medicinal water so you can wipe yourself clean. Tomorrow you can already bathe in it. I will go wash. Call out once you're wiping and changing your clothes. Then we will sleep."
