Stand Up

In another display of strength, I stand up with Marie hanging off of me. She lets out a yelp and releases her legs. She falls flat to the floor and groans while I stand there a second and get my balance. That took a lot of my remaining energy. She doesn't move so I think she is having a hard time as well. I start to walk over and am struggling to even take those few steps. I drop to my knees and slowly crawl to Marie instead. Standing up may have been a mistake because I am on my last reserves. I just hope Marie is equally exhausted. I need to hurry and pin her before she can recover.
