Arya swallowed the soup slowly, and Alfa made sure that it wasn't too warm. It was almost at room temperature.
Arya knew why Alfa had tensed after she asked him about Valac. He had almost killed her.
One thing Arya was sure of was that Valac was no longer on their territory. Natalie's tears told Arya that she was blaming herself for everything that happened.
"You will be able to go home tomorrow," Alfa said, as he put another spoon full of soup in her mouth. "Gretchen just needs you here today for observation."
"Water!"
Alfa handed Arya a glass of water and continued talking, "And your friend Rebecca... she's finally gaining some weight. She's all good."
"Thank God," Arya said.
Arya was genuinely happy for her friend. "Can I see her?" She asked. Her eyes were wide with hope, although she knew the answer.
"Not now. You need to rest. Maybe you can visit her after your discharge tomorrow."
Alfa tried to give her more soup, but her stomach was now screaming enough.
