She half turned to face them, regarding the midwife with a guarded stare.

She stood still there for another moment, one foot toward the door, the other toward the woman offering company, until finally the turned fully. Her arms dropped to her sides, falling under her tattered blue cloak. She sighed, nodding her head as if in defeat. "Guess I never finished my tea though."

I'm too tired to wrestle with it. will we burn or will we repent?
