"A few hours isn't going to hurt. I don't want you taking this on all by yourself. Let me come with you," Anne says, concern flooding her voice.

"I'm okay. I need to do it by myself."

"Look, just wait for me. I'll see you in an hour. At least you can shower before you go anywhere. We can talk some more about it. I mean we might find a match elsewhere. Maybe it's wise to wait a little."

There are cafes and a library, even a gift shop. It's more like a little town. I hadn't been here since it was first built

around me. It's absolutely amazing in here, modern and roomy. I love the natural light coming in the windows and skylight. I feel like I haven't seen daylight forever. To think so much has changed in twenty-four hours. My life turned upside down and Abby's life hangs in the balance. Before that the worst thing I could think of was arguments with Jayden. Now that all seems to pale in comparison to my daughter being in here.
