“Oh, sorry Bethany,” Helen’s voice was a bit strained, she hadn’t meant to ignore her, but she had noticed Adams tight smile as he greeted them, she gave a small shy wave in return, “I’m doing that a lot lately… I’m feeling calmer I think, but, as Anico just said, how about…you, you and Adam, are you two both ok?”<br/><br/>Her voice still sounded strange to her own ears, only now slightly softened to match Bethany’s tone. She didn’t know why, but she felt it was important at that moment to keep strong, maybe she thought it would bring the mood of the others down if she allowed herself more lapses into pity and helplessness.<br/><br/>The more she thought about the situation they’d were in, the more she was feeling....what? She’d not had time to really question what those feelings were, but they'd started to disturb her.<br/><br/><br/><br/><br/>
