Angela crawled into bed and tried to sleep, but sleep wouldn't come for the longest time.

She felt awful for disappointing and upsetting everyone, and she felt badly that Jack hadn't liked Melou, and she just felt...like everyone was against her.

And she missed her Mom. And her Dad. And Johnny, and Jeananne

Kim's found herself in Tel’aran’rhiod again.

She knows that trying to wake up doesn't work and freaking out won't help at all, so she tries to imagine herself in a place that she knows is perfectly safe.

When she opens her eyes, she's standing in the middle of her living room.

And Angela is somehow standing in the doorway leading from her old nursery room, into the living room, dressed in her nightgown.

This is the old house. This is where I was a baby.

She stands there, dazed for a moment until she realizes who is standing in the middle of the room.

Angela's throat closes up and she squeaks when she tries to talk. "M-Mom?"

Kim senses another presence in the room, embracing saidar and preparing defensive weaves until she hears the voice.

She turns, blinking back tears, feeling a strange ache in her chest.

"Angie?"

And she moves forward, wanting to ask her how she got there or if she realizes the danger, but instead only able to hug her tightly.

It feels like forever since her mother has hugged her and Angela hugs back just as tightly. She feels the ache in her heart squeeze a sob out of her.

She wants to apologize over and over because she doesn't feel angry right now, she just wants her mother.

"Oh, Mommy, I miss you so much." Tears might be soaking Kim's shoulder.
