Amelia couldn't understand what Albert was saying and sighed at his poor sense of time, wondering what "so long" meant.
After all, they haven't been together for very long.
Amelia looked up at the sky speechlessly, thinking that maybe in a man's eyes, a long time meant a year.
Feeling exhausted, Amelia found herself getting sleepy.
She sighed, realizing that not only did her intelligence decline during pregnancy, but her body also became weaker, making her tired easily.
Albert hugged Amelia, trying to keep her awake, "Don't sleep, or you'll fall asleep."
"...I know."
Amelia turned to rest.
She wanted to take a short nap.
Albert said, "Don't sleep."
"Mmm."
Amelia agreed and turned to face forward.
"Why don't you let me down, and I'll walk by myself?"
Amelia thought about how Albert would put her down and how achieving her goal was enough.
But Albert just laughed, "Okay!"
Although he said it was okay, he didn't put Valerie down.
