Chapter 156: New side (2)

"You are haunted by people you have killed? There is a tea you can drink to help you relax while you sleep if you drink it before bed. It tastes like alcohol but it is not. Whenever I was restless and could not sleep, I always made it. I slept quietly and none of my problems showed up in my dreams. I can," Annalise stopped herself as she realised what she was offering to do. 

'Am I crazy? Why would I make him that drink? I don't even have what I need to make it,' Annalise thought. 

"You can do what?" Rafael asked, urging her to continue. "Are you taking back your offer to make it for me? After how kind I have been to you? To let you eat my food."

"If I had known that meant I would owe you in the future, I would not have accepted the food. I remembered that there were some special ingredients my mother used to make it that might be hard to find here. A special root she let soak in tea and if I do find it here, I cannot afford it," Annalise answered.
