Alec rose and met her at the door as it closed behind her. "How are you, Audrey?" He asked her in his deep smooth voice that she had grown so accustom to. "I'm fine." She said not wanting to worry him about her dreams. She noted the deep purple circles around his eyes and frowned at him as she placed her hands on her hips. "When is the last time you have slept?" She demanded. Audrey had been worried about him ever since his parents had fallen ill, she could see the stress it was putting on him just by looking in his eyes and she knew that he needed to sleep soon or he would suffer the consequences to come. "I know you are worried but, you can't put yourself through this Alec. You have to stay strong." She said softly to him. " Why don't you go get some sleep? I will stay here with your parents and if anything happens I will send for you. Okay?"
