Sazkia nodded then gave her thumbs up while smiling sweetly. Sazkia lowered her jacket then turned around. By saying bismillah, She closed her eyes, trying to forget the incident that made her hurt. Until a few minutes passed, Lina who was still worried about Sazkia's condition smiled when she heard a small snore from next to her. "You are dizzy, why am I the one who can't sleep?

We weren't allowed in there. Savia huffed for the umpteenth time. She had been pacing for four hours without a break. Neither of us could sleep. Serenity slept off thrice and woke up with a scream. She had nightmares. Zyaire slept off along the way, but unlike Serenity, he did not wake or shake, he cried in his sleep. None of us could be bothered to soothe each other's pain. "Argh!!!" Savia screamed, ruffling her hair and shaking her head wildly. "This is driving me crazy!"

I ask inanely, apparently forgetting that he’s clearly awake and staring right at me. “I am.” The corner of Sinclair’s mouth curves up, and I’m reminded of how soft and firm his lips had been on mine. “Is everything okay?” I slip the rest of the way inside, leaning back against the door until it clicks shut and staring at the ground. “I can’t sleep.” I confess, wrapping my arms protectively around my body.

That you rarely sleep. And that Katniss, your fiancée, gives you a tonic that helps you sleep every night.” Sven lets out a dry, bitter breath that sounds almost like a laugh, though there is no humor in it.
