Chapter 32

Nanna's soft voice guides me back to reality. I can feel the weakness in my muscles, my legs, particularly feel like a shaky newborn lamb, and I wonder for a moment how I will manage getting out of the tub. But Nanna surprises me with her strength and helps me out without a sound. Again she sets me on the side of the tub while she dries me with a soft towel. She's gone from almost breaking down herself on the porch to becoming my rock. She helps me put on the clothes that Leah must have snuck in. "Thank you," I whisper brokenly when she has finished.
