Her face changed.
“I called the police, Maeve. I spent four hours thinking you might be dead.”
“Oh…” She frowned.
“You wanted me to track you here?”
“You told me you’d be home at 7:15.”
“I thought you’d check the app first and immediately come here.”
“Why?” I looked around and shook my head. “What is all this?”
My body was still catching up to the fact that she was alive and completely fine.
But my question brought a small smile back to her face.
“What is all this?”
“You know I’ve been buying supplies for hospital families for years. Just small things, to help.”
I nodded.
“Well… I decided to scale up.”
“Ava,” I said. “This is because of her?”
Maeve nodded. Ava’s family had struggled with food, rent, transportation, and supplies after discharge.
“This is because of her?”
Maeve had packed them a bag the first time. Two months later, Ava was back.
