Chapter 99 Everything Changed For Me

• Each moment that passed was much more horrible than the last, I watched him there and every part of his face and hands made me think the worst. I watched him there and even had the courage to ask the question my heart feared.
• It took him a few minutes to see me and little by little he touched my hands, felt my skin, smiled like any innocent little child.
• Tears streamed down my cheeks in awe and fear, and I turned my eyes back to my mother as I felt his little body wrap around mine. It felt safe, safe enough to connect her body to mine without being forced. Perhaps some people were right, blood calls for blood, and Matthew and I undoubtedly carried the same.
