Gabby went to get Isobel a glass of water, kneeling beside her on the bathroom floor. "Just drink this," she commanded - not planning on leaving until she at least had some water in her system. "You can't keep starving yourself like this," she scolded, and yes, she knew she was being hypocritical but those days were long gone and this was the present. Isobel needed to eat.
"Come on, back to the living room." She helped Isobel up, making sure she got to the couch without any more vomit or blood, then fetched the blanket. "I'm absolutely certain that what I gave you will help," she added, nodding firmly. "Now get comfortable here. I'll sit with you 'till you fall asleep."
