Calup gestured for Dawn to leave the room and assured him she’d be fine. When the door closed, Calup held Stacey’s head to his chest and slowly rubbed her back. Stacey spoke, her voice muffled “oh caaaal, Stacey muttered in his arms. what’s wrong with me!” “You need to stop living in the past, Calup continued to rub Stacey’s back and l lifted her head so she could hear what he was about to tell her. Stacey wiped her face and sat her hands on the bed they were sitting on.” God helps with these things, he can come into your heart, and give you peace he will chase those demons away from your dreams and keep you in a flowing lasting slumber that will never leave, but only if you let him.”
