He continued to cry.

 

Leah leaned her head back, grunting as she fought against the fire inside her. She gently kissed George's hand, holding it to her chest. "Do you feel that...?" She murmured, her eyes closed. A faint heartbeat could be felt in her chest, and she couldn't help but smile. It'd been a long time since she'd had a heartbeat.

 

George was shocked. "But, how is that possible?" he asked.

 

"I told you," She said softly, weak. "I pick up human traits... for awhile..." She sighed happily and smiled, wearily. "It's not all bad... It's nice..."

 

"Oh right." he said, remembering.

 

Leah closed her eyes, keeping her head laid back. She felt the burning receding from her body. "It's warm..." She muttered. "But not burning..." She squeezed George's hand tightly.

 

"That's good, right?" he asked.

 

Leah smiled. "Yes..." She whispered softly, now exhausted. "The burning's gone..." She mumbled. This had left her drained. She kept her head leaned back, breathing steadily, as it was necessary, now.

 

"Do you want me to bring you to your bed?" he asked.

 

Leah shook her head. "It's okay, I can walk..." She said and opened her eyes, releasing his hand so that she could get up. She almost fell over, but quickly steadied herself.

 

He noticed that her soaking wet clothes now clung to her. He could help but look, and blush.

 

Leah noticed him staring at her and blushed. Carefully, she stepped out of the cold water and on to the rug that she had placed in front of the tub. Grinning, she flicked some water at George and giggled.

 

The cold water distracted him and he came back to his senses. He looked away, still blushing, and said "Maybe you should change into some dry clothes."

 

Leah blushed. "R-Right..." She said, a bit embarassed. "One second!" She smiled and went to go change into dry clothes, but she acidentially slipped on the wet tile and fell.

 

George went to go catch her, but she fell on top of him.

 

Leah blushed brightly. "I-I'm sorry!" She said. "Are you okay?!" She got up off of him, holding on to the wall so as not to slip on the wet floor.

 

"I-I'm fine" he said, bright red.

 

She looked at the ground, blushing brightly. "I'm sorry!!" She said, knowing that he was blushing, too. "I-I'm gonna go change, now..." She walked out of the bathroom, being careful not to slip again. She then went and got dry clothes from her suitcase and pulled the curtain around her bed, changing into the dry clothes.

 

George's clothes were now wet too, so he decided to change too. He saw Leah's outline in the curtians and blushed more. He got his clothes, pulled his own curtain, and started getting changed.

 

Leah finished getting dressed and hung her wet clothes up in the bathroom. She then went back in the room and sat cross-legged on the end of her bed, waiting for George to finish getting dressed.
