The more coherent she became the more aware of just how awkward the air in the room was. Clearing her throat, she looked at her mum carefully. "I remember now, it's alright. Mr. Greengrass can go, thank you." She cast a very brief glance and a half-smile in his direction, hoping Noble would take that cue to slink out the door now.
The distraction of an explanation would hopefully allow him the uncontested exit he deserved. "I haven't been sleeping well. After the burglary I was having nightmares." Laying there, trying to fall asleep, only for nothing to happen, or all of the fear to flood back in. So instead she'd used the time to plan the flower show. It had been much easier to be productive until the exhaustion kicked in and she got an hour or two here and there, but nothing substantial or restorative.
"Apparently it all caught up with me today and I fainted, which is why I was brought here." Twice. She'd fainted twice, and the shaking and everything else that had happened, but she wasn't going to dramatize it anymore than necessary.
