Lance reached out instantly, catching her before she could fall.

“Are you okay?” Nathalie asked, her pulse spiking.

Her grandmother stared blankly for a moment, then shook her head. “I’m fine, I’m fine. Just a little weak from resting too long…” She offered Nathalie a reassuring smile.

Lowering her gaze, Nathalie gently supported her as they slowly paced the length of the hospital room. After just a few laps, the older woman was exhausted, her complexion growing pale.

‘Tired. So tired…”

Nathalie helped her back into bed, propping her against the pillows. “Is here anything you’d like to eat?”
