The first thing I saw when I went into the room with Artem was Chay laying in a bed. She was propped up on the pillows with a tray of food sitting in front of her. She looked a little paler than usual and her hair was a bit of a mess.
There had never been a time that I had seen Chay when she was anything less than perfectly put together. Chay prided herself on her appearance. She always wanted to present the best of herself at all times. I had learned that about her pretty early on.
The second thing that I saw was Bailey sitting in a chair next to the bed, his empty plate from breakfast still balanced on his lap.
