Chapter 61

• I feel my strength leaves me the moment I step into my room. I can’t almost make it to bed. My legs are trembling, and raising them to plant a step forward seems too difficult. My mind is a total mess, and I don’t know what’s right anymore.
• Placing my phone and bag on the bedside table, I slowly remove my clothes and throw them on the floor. Then, forgetting about washing my face or brushing my teeth, I lift the covers and drag my heavy body inside, whispering a prayer that I may get a deep sleep. Instead, however, I see Zed when I close my eyes.
• How is he now? How is he coping? Is he lamenting over my loss just as he did with Yen? Is he having sleep difficulties because I’m gone? Is he thinking of me?
