[Time passes slowly as she cries against him, each second drawn out longer and longer as she weeps and fights everything running through her mind.
That she can't be alone. That she doesn't want to do this to him. That she's not strong enough for this. That he needs to know what's happening. That she needs to pull back and take care of the dogs because they never got around to installing the 'doggy door' as Wolfe called it on the door at the back of the kitchen. That she's said nothing to Yennefer or the rest of Wolfe's friends or the city and they need to know, too.
Her legs finally give out and make the decision for her. She sinks to the floor, slowly for the help down that Patience offers, clawing at Caleb the whole while so he doesn't get far.
Don't let go. Don't leave me alone.
Her chest tightens as she takes in a slow, pained breath. It's all she can manage before she whispers the truth he suspects.]
He's gone. [And now her heart is completely and utterly shattered.]
