Ron Batton gazed at them thoughtfully. Having no other choice, he nodded helplessly. "Okay then." After that, Ron went upstairs, leaving the two alone in the living room.

Stanley looked at her with a concerned face. "Are you okay?" Xyla shook her head. "I guess my stomach is messingup because I was starving last night."
"I'll make sbreakfast for you." Stanley jumped off the bed and went straight into the bathroom to wash up. Xyla did not get out of the bed. She lazily hugged the blanket and closed her eyes.
Once again, a wave of nausea swept over her.
