Chapter 225

• Once William had calmed down a little, I sat him down on the bed and offered him a glass of water. I stood in front of him, waiting for him to take the initiative to ask questions, but he just stared at me without saying anything.
• “Are you feeling better now?” I asked. He wasn’t crying, but he wasn’t smiling either. He seemed lost in thought.
• “I don’t know where to start...” he replied in a low voice, handing back the empty glass.
