Chapter 25:
She smiled today.
She smiled twice.
She was stronger than she knew.
I want to tell her.
But I know she won’t believe me.
She walked with me down the hallway.
It made me feel good.
I tell her i’m sorry for leaving her yesterday.
She says she doesn’t mind.
Her eyes say different.
I drive her home again.
I ask if I can come in.
She says no.
I ask again.
She says no.
She leaves.
I follow.
