Clementine always stayed awake longer than Christa and Omid. She just absolutely had to. She would pretend that she was sleeping until those two were actually asleep. It was then that she would have her nightly talks with Lee. In her heart and mind, she believed that he was still there; watching over her, protecting her, making sure she was safe.
Otherwise, how else would she still be alive?
"I miss you Lee." She would always start out with, trying her hardest not to cry. She would then tell them what she did with Christa and Omid that day. "Christa's getting really close to having the baby, and it's getting cold out. I don't think we're close to Wellington yet." She would tell him everything, because she knew that he was always there, and that he was always listening no matter what.
Sometimes she would get really sad and wish that he was still here. She wanted to hear him call her sweet pea just one more time. She just wished she could hear his voice one last time. But talking to him like this would have to suffice for now, after all, it was better than nothing.
