"He did. That is why he sent you."
My knees weaken and I fall to the ground.
He picks me up and carries me to my bed.

The count sets me in my bed.
Pulls the sheets.
Draws the curtains.
Draping the room in darkness. And leaves me to sleep.
The doors close softly behind him.
I sigh. And let myself be carried off. To a dream where none of this exists.
