Over and over until she jerked awake breathless and sweaty.
The fork in the road was in front of her. Which way she chose would dictate her future, and her childs. The clock was ticking.
The next day, Tuomas was brought to Leah. Once alone she asked about how he felt being in a strange world.
I like it, very exciting, but
You miss your home, your parents?
He nodded solemnly.
Tuomas, Id like to have a talk with you. Would you like to see my gardens?
He nodded eagerly, Yes please.
Tuomas ran around the vast lush gardens like a typical young boy would. She pictured him chasing a pet dog. Leah watched him delighted. She was impressed with Kalvich not pressing the usual rules on her to be escorted and found she was far more relaxed. She had arranged a picnic basket and wanted him to enjoy his last few days before he was sent into the Necradome City.
