Leanna didn’t say anything further. Seeing the gloomy look on his face, she figured something bad must have happened. She patted his back, comforting him silently. A long while later, she whispered, “Let’s go. I’ll make something for you. What would you like to eat?”

“Home. I want to sleep,” she answered seriously.

“Well, that can be arranged.”
