Amelie left the room with Carlos after settling Ravenna in the guest room. Ravenna had gone straight to bed, exhaustion pulling her under almost instantly.
"I'll stay with your grandmother," Amelie offered.
"No, don't," Carlos said gently but firmly. "You need to take care of yourself too. Besides, Gabriel will be back soon, and he'll want you with him."
"He'll understand Grandma needs someone by her side," Amelie countered. "You're also tired, so you can't do it either."
"The servants can," Carlos suggested. "Ask one of them to sit with her."
"That's a good idea," she agreed after a moment's pause. They walked a few more steps before Amelie stopped. "Go get some rest. I'll send someone to be with Grandma."
"That would be great." Carlos gave her a quick wave before heading toward his room.
Amelie turned back toward the living room, where Juniper still sat, flipping idly through a magazine. She glanced around for Albus and spotted him emerging from the hallway.
