She nodded, taking in a shuddering breath." Lay it on me." I shook my head, my heart heavy with disappointment. "It didn't work, Lori," I admitted, my voice trembling. "I tried. I tried so many times, but nothing happened. I couldn't turn her. I don't know why. Maybe I'm too weak." Lori's hope seemed to fade, and her shoulders slumped in defeat. She buried her face in her hands, and I could hear her sobbing softly. "I thought... I thought maybe..." Her voice trailed off, and her shoulders shook.

"I didn't want to tell you because I didn't want to get your hopes up. But I failed you anyway. And now I don't know how to save Jessica." Lori pulled away slightly, looking atwith tear-filled eyes. "You didn't fail me, Nina," she said gently, her voice trembling. "You did everything you could to help Jessica, and I know how much you care about her. That means more than anything." I wiped away a tear from Lori's cheek and gave her a weak smile. "Thank you, Lori," I said with a tense smile that I didn't really feel. "But I still wish I could have done more." Lori leaned in and kissed my cheek. "You're an amazing friend, Nina," she said, leaning her head on my shoulder in a show of affection that was rare for her. "And I'm so grateful to have you by my side." We stood there for a minute, holding each other, before I finally pulled away and looked down at her. "Hey," I said, " since we're both up, and I doubt we'll be going to bed anytsoon, how about stea?" She paused for a moment, then finally nodded. We both walked in silence to the kitchen, where Lori perched on a stool while I put the kettle on. The kitchen was quiet for a while, filled only by the sound of the boiling water and illuminated only by the golden glow of the lamp.
Once the tea was poured, I slid a cup across the counter toward her. She took it, wrapping her fingers around it, but didn't drink right away. The steam hit both of our faces. It was almost soothing. Almost, but not quite.
We sat there in silence for a while, both lost in our thoughts. Finally, Lori spoke up, her voice hesitant. "Nina, is it okay with you if I stay here for a while longer? At least until I know more about Jessica's condition?" I looked at Lori, torn between wanting to be there for her and the nagging feeling that I needed to get back to the werewolf realm to ensure the safety of my baby. I took a deep breath, knowing that I had to be honest with Lori.
"Lori, I need to tell you something." I said, my voice heavy with regret. "I need to go back to the werewolf realm tomorrow. There's something important I have to do." Lori's eyes filled with sadness, but she nodded in understanding. "I won't stop you," she said gently, reaching across the counter to grab my hand. "Is everything okay?"
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmI paused for a few moments, debating whether or not to tell her about the fortune telle But finally, I realized that I needed to tell someone, and I would prefer if that someone was Lori.
So finally, I told her everything; the visions, the shadow entity, the sleepwalking, the fortune tellen, the generational curse. When I was finished, Lori was silent, gripping her cup so tightly that her knuckles had turned white. Neither of us had even touched our tea yet. "Nina, I... I can't believe it," she whispered, shaking her head. "You've been dealing with all this, and here I am, asking you to put yourself at risk for Jessica." "Lori, no," I said, my voice more stem now. "Don't you dare take the blfor this. I was the one who chose to do it. And I wanted to do it. For you and for Jessica."
Lori was silent for a while longer before she finally stood and caround the counter, wrapping her arms around me. "I'll miss you while 上 you're gone," she murmured. "But thank you for being here for me. I'm so glad to have you as a friend, and...
I hope the baby will be okay.* Tears welled up in my eyes as I hugged Lori tightly. "I'm going to miss you too, Lori," I whispered. "But I promise I'll be back as soon as I can." Lori pulled away and gavea weak smile. "Just focus on yourself," she said softly. "Yourself and the baby. It's what Jessica would want." I nodded, buoyed slightly by her words. Despite everything, despite all of the pain and the heartache, Lori was right; Jessica would wantto focus on the baby.
And no matter how much it hurt, I knew it had to be done.
