I climbed into the bed again. She immediately rolled over to me, her body curling into mine. Julianna threw a leg between mine and her arm slid over my chest as she burrowed her fevered self against my body. Helplessness gripped me as Julianna suffered through a brutal fever. It lasted through the night, into the morning and through the next… four days. I stayed by her side, never leaving her for more than fifteen minutes and that was only to use the restroom and for a quick shower each day.
