The word is smothered by the liquid pouring into Tiffany's mouth, Gideon forcing her head back to tip it down her throat. It only takes about ten seconds for the medicine to take effect: her vision clouds, blackens at the edges, and then all is silent. A dreamless sleep, keeping her unconscious for hours on end.
When she wakes, which she eventually will, Gideon is already there. He almost always times it perfectly, allowing very little time for her to stir before he puts her right back to sleep-- sometimes he'll give her a bit of bread, a few sips of water. She's not meant to die, at least not yet.
