“Life’s got to always be messing with me,” Rees said it so matter of factly she couldn’t ignore her.

“Feeling like a freak on a leash.” Char had to add.

She nodded taking a deep breath, “And they say that a hero can save us. I’m not gonna stand here and wait.“

Char raised a brow and looked at Rees, “It’s 3:00 AM.”

“Oh how I long for the deep sleep dreaming,” Rees started, “But, I can’t sleep.”

Char grabbed Rees by the arm, “Hey! Wait! I’ve got a new complaint!”

Rees rolled her eyes and groaned, “Forever in debt to your priceless advice.”

Char frowned and looked down, “No really, I think I’m paranoid, and complicated.“

Rees laughed, “The trick is to keep breathing. The trick is to keep breathing.“ She repeated it to let the words sink in.

She thought about it for a long moment, “Just breathe.”

Rees smiled, “Just breathe.”

“Ohhhh, breathe,” Char inhaled deeply and exhaled slowly.

“Are you happy now?” Rees asked politely.
