Emily nodded at Liam’s suggestion. There was nothing she could do here. Nothing any of them could do here. Rachel just needed to sleep. After that they’d have to figure things out. The two women in there with her were concerned for her and her sister. That meant a lot to Emily. More than she could express right now.
”Yeah…we should let her sleep. Just…give me a couple of minutes alone…please. Then I’ll come up.”
Emily looked up at them. Elyse looked at her with her golden eyes and then nodded. Anna followed suit. All three of them left with Anna mentioning they’d be on the second floor, and Emily took Rachel’s hand. Rachel looked so peaceful now, a stark contrast to what she had been just moments before. Occasionally, she’d twitch and Emily wondered if she was having dreams. She hoped it wasn’t nightmares.
Emily didn’t speak even though she had so much to say. Now didn’t seem to be the time. Rachel couldn’t hear her anyways. Emily’s anger shifted and she allowed herself to cry before she kissed Rachel’s forehead, whispered ”Love you, sis,” and stood up to head to the second floor.
