KATHERINE It had been 3 days since I woke up. I'd been asleep for a week, Nat said. I wasn't surprised, my body was overly exhausted. It took the opportunity it had to rest. I was still in bed, thankfully the IV had been removed, but the doctor still came by to give me shots. It was just a stab wound, right? The thing was, I didn't feel the pain anymore. As crazy as it sounds, I'm happy I got stabbed. At least for the past two weeks, I hadn't seen or heard from Rowan. But I knew he was in the house. Mostly, I would hear his voice in the house. That too, from downstairs, telling someone how much of an incompetent fool they were. Or just some other demeaning commentary. He had come into my room one day when I had just begun to fall asleep. I thought it was Nat so I didn't bother looking
