250 Home and Haunted (Jayden)

After the incredible time with Henry earlier at the hospital, I'm back at home. But I struggle with not being there with Henry. Winona is in the kitchen talking with Anne and Abby. Bobby and Sarah are doing their homework.

The doctors said Henry might be able to come home in four to six weeks if things continue the way they're going. I can't even begin to describe how that makes me feel. The excitement, the relief, the overwhelming sense of possibility.

After everything, we're finally seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. And this time, hopefully, it's not the oncoming train.

Winona comes into the living room. She sits beside me. "So, I spoke with Gus last week. He came to the

office."

I tense up immediately at the mention of his name. "What's going on with him now?"

I shake my head, knowing exactly where this is going. I'm not interested, Winona."

"I told him you wouldn't want to talk about Greg," she continues, her voice soft. "But Maria apparently has questions. About who Greg really was."

"Apparently, Greg was a completely different person with her and the kids. Kind, loving. She wants to understand how, I suppose."

"The fact that he was kind and loving to them only makes me hate him more. It means he knew exactly what he was doing when he was an asshole to us."

But maybe talking to Maria would help her understand. Maybe it'll help you too, to
