he wanted to just walk He took a few steps forward , bent down , and set the medicine on the coffee table .

In the soft light , she appeared delicate ..

Feeling responsible , he said , Hold on , Ill get you some water .

He placed it on the coffee table .

With a soft voice , he began , Sienna , I know youre not asleep .

Quit sulking .
