"If you need to rest go ahead," I said trying to reassure her.

"No, I'm okay," she said looking down.

"How long do you sleep each night?" I asked directly.

"About three or four, . . . I think."

"Is it because of the nightmares?"

"Yeah and sometimes I just can't sleep."

"How's Mani doing?"

"Well he's awake."
