"Stay with me," Rachel reached for his hand, wrapping her fingers through this. If what she remembered was true, if Indigo was a monster, then she was going to need Danny. If Cai and Zoe could prove she wasn't crazy, she needed Danny to know that too.
And if she was going crazy? If she was having vivid hallucinations of monsters and threats, then...
Rachel didn't want to think about that. She didn't want to go back to hospital. What if she had to go to hospital and when she got out she'd lost all her memories of the last few months? She couldn't face that again, not when she knew she'd be losing good memories.
She could handle lost memories when she thought they'd all been bad. She couldn't handle losing Danny. The thought terrified her.
Funny, that proving monsters were real and in her house would mean she was not mad. The idea was so ridiculous it almost made her laugh.
She didn't laugh though. She took Danny's hand and led them up to her bedroom. The purples and greens, the photo collage, the fairylights, all of these things set it apart from the rest of the house, made it hers.
Rachel sat down crosslegged on one fuzzy rug, pulling Danny down next to her.
"I think," Cai said, joining them on the rug. "If Zoe and I take Rachel's hands. Danny, you sit behind her. That should stop me accidentally reading you instead." He gave Danny a smile, to show him that he wasn't afraid of accidentally reading Danny (even though he actually was.)
