“I just needed to see how the…” Ethan began explaining, his sentence trailing off when Liam’s face popped through the doorway. The little boy had gotten impatient and wondered why his mom was stalling had gone to check on her himself.

“Wait, what?” she thundered.

Hazel felt a tightening and suffocating feeling within her. For a moment, she was speechless, looking away from the two, taking deep breaths.
