It was already midnight. Ivory's siblings were asleep inside their room, while she couldn't, as she kept thinking about what happened the other day. Since her bed was the nearest to the window, she sat up and stared at the bright moon.
'How can I convince Sigmund to return?' she thought, feeling hopeless. 'Am I going to stay this weak in my whole life?'
Although her fever had gone down, she still felt a slight pain in her head and felt groggy. She turned her head to the right when she heard a sound. It was her sister Katie, who got up from her bed, which was positioned at the other side of the room.
"Where are you going?" Ivory asked.
"I'm… I'm going to pee," Katie replied nervously as she lit the candle. "Why are you awake though? Aren't you sick? You should be sleeping."
"Thank you, but I can't sleep…" Ivory smiled as she thought Katie became concerned about her. She then noticed that her sister hadn't moved an inch, "I thought you're going to pee?"
