Sonya woke up in the middle of the night parched. Disoriented, she checked on Lily Lane, relieved to find her sleeping soundly beside her. Checking the time, she went to the small living room for water. After drinking, she collapsed onto the living room floor. It was cold. She suddenly felt the urge to call Henry and hear his voice.
