She didn't trust herself to speak, so she nodded, the tears fresh on her
cheeks as she stubbornly wiped them away carefully. She took a breath in,
trying not to shake as Robert mumbled sleepily behind her and shifted in
their bed. He had never been here before, never been with her when she
awoke in tears or when Corry had, had nightmares. She wasn't used to him
being back in her life properly just yet.
Still, she'd just have to wait until he went to check on Gabrielle and then
she could sneak out to the bathroom. Clearing her voice, she drew the
blankets away from his side and up over her face and mumbled beneath them.
"Go, she'll need her father." Virginia mumbled, trying to keep her
shoulders as still as possible even though all she wanted to do was scream
and cry.
