Talia

I heard my mom call out to Lex, but I couldn't make myself open my eyes to look at the two of them. I heard Lex get up and go over there, his scent passing behind me and then kneeling between me and my mom. I could sense it all, but I couldn't see it. I was almost asleep already.
"Come here, Talia." Those words were whispered softly next to my ear. I don't think that Lex even expected me to hear him.
"Lex." I could barely move my mouth when I spoke so even that little whispered word was slurred. "I'm so sleepy."
