In the end, Mia Grant didn't cry.
Her tears dried before they could fall. Silas Grant stayed with her, watching nearly two hours of infomercials.
Finally, she couldn't hold it back any longer and rushed to the bathroom, where she threw up for a good while.
With her stomach partially empty, she finally felt a little less sick.
Silas Grant gave her two more pills. Seeing her in such a wretched state, he ultimately decided not to say anything.
'She deserved a lecture, but he could let it slide for today.'
The ordeal lasted until four in the morning, when Mia Grant finally fell asleep.
As promised, Silas Grant lay down on the floor next to the bed.
But he wasn't used to it and couldn't get comfortable. He ended up making do on the two-seater sofa in her room for the night.
Early the next morning, Hayes Hughes finally got back.
He ran into Zero the moment he got out of his car.
