After the meal, | insisted on helping to clean up despite the director’s protests. With the way Noah had spent the
better part of our visit openly mocking me, | felt | had a point to prove-both to him and to myself.
“Really, Luna Hannah, you've already done so much!” the director protested. “We couldn't possibly ask our Luna
to clean the kitchen.”
“Nonsense,” | said, already gathering my plate and rolling up my sleeves. “I'd love to help.”
The director, with wide eyes, fell into a series of thank-yous and compliments. As | made my way to the kitchen,
Noah caught my elbow and shota curious look. “Cleaning, too?” he whispered, low enough so only | could
hear. “What kind of an image-"
“It’s the right thing to do,” | retorted, not bothering to keep my voice low as | plastered that ssmile across

I was still scrubbing dishes alongside Noah, the director, and her staff when the first wave of nausea hitlike |

shook with the convulsions, tears streaming down my cheeks.
Well, there went lunch.
When it was finally over, | slumped back against the cool tiled wall, breathing deeply through my nose. | raked
the back of my shaking hand across my forehead, trying not to gasp out loud. Goddess, | felt like an empty husk.
Suddenly, a hesitant knock sounded on the bathroom door, makingnearly jump out of my skin. “Hannah?
Are you alright in there?”
| quirked an eyebrow. | had expected to hear the director, one of the staff, or maybe even one of the children on
the other side of the door. But instead, it was Noah's voice that cthrough the wood.
A feeling of panic worked its way through me, but was quickly replaced by a surge of annoyance. Of course he
would choose now to start giving a damn about my wellbeing. Hastily, | flushed the toilet and splashed some
water on my clammy face in an effort to pull myself together before going to answer the door.

Noah regardedsilently for a few more moments, his green eyes roving over my pale, clammy face. Just when
| was certain he was about to demand the full truth, he simply gave a curt nod instead.
