Hate is a Strong Word

Chapter Twenty-five

Sonora shuddered. She remembered being in the water, then here in Ian's arms, but not a whole lot in between. "Are you sure? I mean, I'm worn out, but other than that I feel fine."

Ian frowned at her. "You are still coughing. And yes, I am sure. No breath came from your lungs, no beat from your heart. I checked many times, as did my sister.”

Someone knocked at the door, and Talise let them in. It was a woman holding a bag. The doctor, Sonora presumed before Aleena introduced them.

The doctor came forward, sitting beside Sonora. "Oh, you are a tiny one, aren't you?"

Sonora smiled. "Well, that depends, I'm on the tall side for a human woman. From my point of view, you all seem a bit overgrown."

The doctor laughed. "I suppose we do."

Curious, Sonora watched the doctor pull a small hand-held instrument from the bag and move it over her. It reminded Sonora of something out of a science fiction show.

The woman punched a few buttons on the thing. "Everything seems fine. But stay quiet for a few hours, and I will check on you tomorrow." The doctor stood. "Call me if there are any complications." She gave Sonora a quick pat and a smile before saying goodbye to everyone.

Once she'd waved, Sonora turned to Ian only to find him gone. He and his parents huddled together in the far side of the room, and his sisters eagerly listened in. Jorah and Aleena were deep in conversation with Ian, tears flooding their eyes. Ian put a hand to his mother's shoulder and nodded.

Cascadia and Talise's faces beamed with excitement, reminding Sonora of a nosy neighbor with the gossip of the neighborhood. Their frequent glances confirmed Sonora's suspicion she was the topic of conversation. Was it just her or were they acting stranger than usual? A near-drowning couldn't be that unusual in an underwater city.

But once the family left, Sonora was too tired to worry about it. A nap was what she needed. She rose and headed to the spare room, Ian trailing her even with assurances she was okay. Sonora was out within minutes of laying her head on the pillow.
