Placing the painting on the table, Gabriel walks to the powders and brings the three back to her. "If you aren't as nauseous you can stop taking the yellow one. It has been a bit of time since the breakout, so you can go back down to the one if you are okay with that?"
"You are probably right. I will stop taking both of the other medicines for the meantime and adjust back to my daily one but if I start to feel bad I will take the other two." Amelia smiles and takes the white package and the cup of water. She takes the powder and drinks the water after.
Gabriel sits down next to her and pats her cheek. "If you feel anything strange you can always come to me. I will look after you." He leans down and kisses her on the lips while her friends watch. It was gentle and fleeting.
“Nobody likes being alone that much. I don't go out of my way to make friends, that's all. It just leads to disappointment. ”
