#Chapter 382: An Accident

Nina “And we have now landed in Mountainview. Thank you for flying with us.” The pilot’s muffled voice crackled over the airplane speakers, rousing me from a fitful sleep. When I cracked my eyes open, the old woman beside me shot me a smile. “Sleep well?” she asked. I nodded, stifling a yawn. “It was much needed, I’ll say,” I said with a wry chuckle. “Exhaustion gets the best of us sometimes, especially when we’re pregnant,” she said, patting my arm. “Make sure you get enough sleep, dear. It’s always important.” “I will.” With that, the old woman stood, collected her carry-on bag, and left. I followed suit soon after. I was grateful to finally have my feet on solid ground. The anxiety of the past few days had left me feeling frazzled, and all I wanted was to be home, even if it was just for a little while. Enzo’s reassurance before I left the city had helped calm my nerves somewhat, but I couldn’t shake the uneasiness that had settled in the pit of my stomach.
