Go on and head to sleep.

Don’t Forget thatyou're still injured.” “I'm all right,” replied Kathleen with a shake of her head.

She added, “My injuries have long healed, Charles.

Why don't you letme stay up to keep watch? You should rest.” “There's no need.

The second he disappeared, Kathleen immediately heaved a heavy sigh of relief, and her shoulders sagged as all tension left her body. She knew that there were moments when a direct conversation would not reveal the truth, and this was one of them. Two days later, Frances' funeral was successfully conducted in an extremely low-profile manner.
