She returned to the hospital bed, settling beside Albin as she began chatting with Carrie Albin, still reedvering, simply listened-silent but present.
Though it was meant to be a conversation, Carrie and Albin were mostly observers. Camille did the talking, recounting her journey to Zimeron, how far she had gone to find Albin.
"I made it all the way there," she said wistfully, "but didn't get to see am thing. I missed the aurora-that's always been on my list. It's so far away; I doubt I'll ever go again."
