Belle's POV
I sighed, the weight of their concern pressing down on me even more. I didn't have the energy to explain it all, not tonight. "I'm fine," I said wearily, my voice barely above a whisper. "I'll call you both in the morning, okay? I'm just really tired and want to rest."
"Belle," Kamille started, but I cut her off.
"Please," I pleaded, my voice cracking. "I just need to sleep."
There was a pause, and then Amanda spoke up, her tone softer this time. "Okay, Belle. Get some rest. But in the morning, you're going to have to explain what's going on. We're worried about you."
"I will," I promised, though I didn't know if I could keep it. "Goodnight."
"Goodnight," they both echoed, and the line went dead.
