To Count Broken Bones

Alvin woke up early and got ready wondering if he shouldn't have included Zane. Although he had kept Anya distracted, he could see how much it had affected Anya. 

Now he was leaving for an infinite period. He never used to stay in Narnia and now, he wasn't ready to leave Narnia. 

Reaching the bed, he shook his head looking at his little brat in her arms. Cordelia was over the moon, Casper was busy renovating the mansion and Gianna was restless but oddly silent. 

Zane had smartly said he has exams and he would visit them later. He had indirectly asked them not to disturb. A crafty son indeed.

He reached to caress Anya's cheeks but paused. She will wake up. He was leaving when the alarm went off and Anya's hand reached for him on the bed. "Alvin!?"

A gentle knock and Anya turned to him. Rubbing her eyes with another hand, Anya yawned. Her groggy mind slowly noticed he was prepared to leave at five in the morning.
