She didn’t feel better.

All morning, Hannah stayed in bed, staring at the ceiling. The weather outside was beautiful, and birds were singing close to her window. It was strange how everything around her just went on like nothing had changed, while she seemed to be frozen in time.

She listlessly threw on some clothes after Emily finally knocked on her door to get her out of there, and walked into the kitchen, waving at Amber and Ivy sitting at the table.

“Tea?” Amber offered, pointing at a pot of green tea in front of her.

Hannah nodded. She poured herself a mug, staring thoughtlessly at the rings in the wood of the table.

“Hey.” Emily scooted closer and put her hand on Hannah’s. “Are you feeling a bit better?”

“Yeah. I’m okay.” The tiniest hint of a smile creased her lips.

“Would you like some breakfast?” Ivy pushed a plate with some pancakes toward her.

Hannah shook her head. “Not hungry,” she mumbled.

“When was the last time you ate something?” Emily asked in a mother-hen voice.

Hannah thought back. The last thing she remembered eating was a granola bar she’d had in the car on their way to Lower Antelope Canyon. She shrugged. “Dunno. I don’t want anything.”

Emily pulled the plate closer and started to cut the pancakes into pieces. “At least have a few bites,” she almost begged. “Ben said we should feed you.”

Hannah heard the shower turn off in the bathroom, and knew Ben would come back to the kitchen in a minute. Of course she didn’t want to worry him, so she reluctantly forced herself to eat some morsels as a poor excuse for a late breakfast.

Pancakes. The last time she’d had pancakes was when Josh had made them.

When Ben was done showering and stepped into the kitchen in clean clothes, she’d managed to eat half a pancake.

“I’m going to pack,” she said, giving him a half-smile.

In her bedroom, Hannah haphazardly tossed some clothes into her duffel bag, her gaze lingering on the dreamcatcher above her bed. She wasn’t sure she wanted to bring it with her on the trip. Part of her wanted to dream of Josh again, so she wouldn’t feel so alone.

Heaving a sigh, she zipped up her bag and left the dreamcatcher hanging above her bed. Then, she slogged to the bathroom to grab her toothbrush, shampoo and a few towels.

Ben was drinking coffee at the counter when she came back into the kitchen. “How are you?” he said.

Hannah quietly leaned against him, settling into his arm around her shoulders.

“Lousy,” she mumbled.

“Just take it easy today.”

When Hannah got outside and put her bag in the Chevy, Paul and Sarah eyed her with pity, so they’d obviously heard about what had happened. The Greenes were busy stuffing bags into the trunk of their station wagon.

Josh was probably on his way to Tuba City by now. Maybe that’s why he needed space. To hook up with all those nice Navajo girls his own age on campus.

Hannah bit her lip to stop herself from crying again. This was stupid. He wasn’t worth agonizing over if he treated her like this.
