Evelyn rubbed at her chest, the pain intensifying with every passing second. The corner of her mouth attempted to lift into a fake smile as she raised her head. She'd always taught herself to smile to ensure no one knew she was in pain, but right now, she couldn't even do that.
"Evelyn—"
"I don't know."
She shook her head.
"I don't know what I feel, Amber. That is the problem, I don't."
Amber's shoulders slumped. "Wait here for me." She left for the bathroom where she turned on the hot shower.
She picked up a towel and dried it before making her way back to the living room where she draped it over Evelyn.
Evelyn relaxed in the warmth. She didn't move regardless, not even when Amber got onto the sofa right next to her.
She sat with her arms still wrapped around her knees.
