TALKING WAS NEVER SOMETHING that came easy with Sima. She'd long learned to conceal everything and keep her emotions and how she felt bottled up to save having to explain matters to others. Yet there were times when she struggled. There were times when her demons and the voices in her head that had built up over time as a result of concealing everything got the better of her.
Relapses came and were fought often in solitude but this one had been seen. The shaking of her right wrist was not easily missed but she often shook it off as a need for sugar when it was questioned by those she worked with ~ it was a little hard to dismiss when a cherub was the one that had spotted it.
Now Sima had the hard choice of lying to a cherubim's face or telling her the true reasoning for the tremor of her wrist. Her hand came to hold her wrist --- an attempt to steady her tremor whilst her head lowered with the release of a heavy sigh. Mary's words rang through her ears like an alarm and truthfully, she was not sure how she could best answer. " I --- I am just tired... "
