"Are you okay, Aeri?" Ezra asked me, quickly placing his hand on my back as I kept coughing. His voice was full of real concern.
"Yeah… I am fine…" I replied, even though I wasn't fully okay inside. I fumbled a little with the tissue and somehow straightened myself in the chair, trying to look normal again.
"Here… clean with this," Sonny said, holding out a tissue toward me.
"Thanks," Ezra said in a flat tone. He took the tissue from Sonny's hand himself and carefully wiped my mouth and chin.
Soon after that, Yor and Ezra started a small quarrel over something. Their voices rose a little, but I didn't pay full attention to the exact words. My head still felt heavy from the sudden memories.
*Gulp*
I picked up my glass and drank water slowly, trying to calm myself down.
"Take it easy…" Ezra said softly when he noticed I was drinking a bit fast. He kept one hand lightly on my back.
