~ ELRETH ~

Elreth sighed heavily, but in truth, she felt better than she had since this entire nightmare began.

Aaryn had finally clinched it the night before when he'd woken to find her sitting in bed, staring at the wall, unable to sleep.

"What's wrong?" he'd jumped, anxious, to help her.

She'd felt terrible when she realized what stress she'd put him through these past few days.

Failure on failure… that's what this entire episode had been. One big Elreth fuck-up after another.

She'd sobbed. She'd finally admitted it to herself, and broken down. And when she finally got herself together enough to speak clearly, they'd talked for over an hour, him listening patiently while she expressed every fear, every what-if from the loss of their child, right through to another human invasion.
