Edda became her housekeeper and personal bodyguard, with a bedroom near Tanya's. She listened through the night, occasionally getting up to wander around the house, checking windows and doors, alert for the sounds of the alarm system.
Tanya found it difficult, at first, to adjust to strangers living with her, caring for her. She was much more used to being on her own, independent. She still suffered from the occasional nightmare, though they were weaker and less frequent. She began the attempt to pull the pieces of her life back together.
