ANASTASIA

After a long minute of arranging my things in my bag, I closed my eyes and took a deep calming breath.

"It's okay, she will be fine," I muttered to myself as I force a smile on.

"You just have to go to work, stay a few hours and get some work done then you head right back."

My lips turned down as I thought of how long I would have to be away from her. My God, I'd be away from her for hours! The thought made my hands tremble slightly as I gripped the strap of my bag. What if she needs something and no one is around?

"Relax, Ana," I quickly told myself. "The nurses are here. The doctor has assured you that she will be well attended to. Besides, Clara said she'd drop by. So she will be fine. She has all the help she might need." I repeated these facts to myself, trying to use logic to combat the worry that threatened to overwhelm me.

With a big smile, I turned to Amie. Her still lashes at the end of her eyelids casted soft shadows on her pale cheeks. Her chest softly rose up and down. As I watched her, my heart suddenly felt heavy in my chest when I was transported back to the previous night. I remembered her barely audible voice as she complained of being tired.
