It’s so hard for me to lie here still.Doing nothing.“Maybe you could try talking to her?” Alexander suggests.I glance at her face, w
EvelynI want to be sitting in the empty chair next to Emma’s bed. Dr. Zorinski told me to stay horizontal in my bed, and I nodded, completely intending to ignore her instructions once she was out of the room.But she knows me too well.“Evelyn,” she said, “listen to me. You and your baby are safe,
