Chapter 56

• AFTER JASON walked away, Evelyn found herself feeling sadness, regret, and confusion all at the same time. She was worried about what he was thinking and planning to do. She queried her own choices and wondered if she'd made a mistake by not telling him about Livvie the moment she'd found out.
• She began to replay their earlier conversation in her head. She was wondering what she could have said differently, and whether she should have been more open with him. But at the same time, she knew that it was a complicated situation. And she was not sure either how he would have reacted if she had told him sooner.
• She lay in the hospital bed, looking at the ceiling. She felt the weight of everything that'd happened pressing down on her, and it was making it hard to breathe.
