Chapter 143 Ava: An Unusual Letter

I must have fallen asleep.

I don't remember falling asleep.

Of course you don't, Selene says with a long yawn. You were so exhausted you just passed out mid-conversation with Lucas. He almost tore a nurse's head off for taking too long after he pressed the call button.

Well, I'm glad I missed that overreaction.

You're fine. It's just blood loss. They transfused you overnight. You seem a lot better.

I feel a lot better. I didn't realize how dizzy I was, how my eyes couldn't focus, until now. Being back to normal feels nice.

Not normal, but better. Selene stretches, flicking her ears at me. Lucas took me on a walk this morning.

Her disgruntled mental voice makes me laugh. How was it?

Fine. He told me to go potty.

I clamp both hands over my mouth, trying my damndest to stifle the hysterical giggles, but the ice-blue eyes staring my way tell me I've failed in a most spectacular manner.

Perhaps you should go potty, Selene suggests in a voice that would have a beautiful home in Antarctica.

"You're right. I really need to go." My lips twitch as I shove my blankets off and haul my IV pole with me like a professional hospital patient—which, at this point, it kind of feels like I am.

I do need to pee, though, so I make quick work in the bathroom, grateful for the nurses who were thoughtful enough to bring a disposable toothbrush and toothpaste. And soap.

I should shower, though. I hate that gross hospital feeling when I wake up here.

You won't have time. Lucas and Kellan are almost here.
