Chapter 20
- It was early spring when Ed was woken in the middle of the night once more by Shirley. She was sitting on the edge of his bed facing him. He flashed back to her previous middle of the night visits and his stomach clenched in worry. He glanced at his door but it was closed.
- "What's wrong?" he asked, fearing her answer.
- "I'm so sorry Ed. I stayed away as long as I could." She looked at Ed hopefully.
