PHOEBE
She continues to sing, allowing the song to repeat and lull Harper to sleep. Perhaps it is fitting as she is the Nightingale. Only when his breathing steadies does she stop her minstrations, fingers lingering for a moment. In that moment she pretended, just for a little while. She lay there next to him after a long day. Jude lay in the next room fast asleep. And for the first time in years she felt a little bit of peace.
But it was not meant to last.
When she was sure he was asleep she rose and slipped out of the bed. Finding a notepad on a desk she wrote a quick note - Harper, I hope you aren't feeling too terrible. I will be back in the morning to check on you. and layed it on the table next to his side of the bed. Then she departed.
And as Phoebe promised, she returned the next day, a basket in her arms this time. She knocked loudly on the door, calling out "Harper! It's Phoebe!" so he would know it was her.
