As much of a relief as it was to know that Atalia understood, it didnât make her feel any less pathetic. Here she was, jumping at shadows, scared of places sheâd been a thousand times. Theyâd gotten inside her head, and it made her feel weak. â Iâm being stupid, I know, â she sighed. â But I think Iâm fine. â Paranoid, but there was nothing physically wrong with her, which had to count for something.Â
