I had already decided on my plan before that; at the flat we descended into habit, putting on the kettle for a late supper. The major difference the twins noticed was the frosted cake that I'd managed to keep a secret on the trip home. The difference that they didn't notice was that I dosed the tea with my pain killers.
Not enough to do more than dull the pain that I always had- but for them, it put them quite firmly to sleep. I was fairly sure it wouldn't permanently hurt them, but I was much more sure that neither of them would wake up for over a day. I didn't want them waking up and coming to look for me. With what they'd taught me about drawing energy up, I could keep them safe inside the apartment, I was fairly sure, but moving about would be too dangerous. The drug took effect quickly enough that I spared a moment to consider how much I was taking on a regular basis. But I didn't have time to worry about that. I had to go.
