still dead.
Her room remained empty.
Tomorrow would still arrive.
At 9:31, officers escorted David outside.
His hands were behind his back.
His sunglasses were gone.
He looked toward the street.
Then spotted me.
Even through Susan’s window, I saw recognition.
«Sarah!»
I didn’t move.
He called again.
«Sarah!»
Hale guided him toward an unmarked vehicle.
David twisted to face me.
«Please!»
That word nearly broke me.
Not because I wanted to rescue him.
Because Lily had deserved to hear it.
Please answer.
Please come home.
Please be her
