PART 2
For a few seconds, I stood outside Sophie’s door with my hand on the handle, unable to move.
Then I opened it.
Thomas was sitting beside her bed.
Sophie was awake, completely still beneath the blanket, staring at him with the same frightened expression I had seen in the doctor’s office. The moment she noticed me in the doorway, her entire face changed.
“Mom.”
Thomas turned around quickly.
“What are you doing awake?”
I didn’t answer his question.
“What are you doing in here?”
He smiled, but it wasn’t the warm smile I had trusted for years.
“She couldn’t sleep. I came to check on her.”
