But she didn't react. I quickly realized-1 was back in the same state as before. Had I really died this time?

At that moment, my thoughts weren't about the children. They were about Carter.

I turned toward the nearest room and stepped inside. It was the intensive care unit.

Carter wasn't here.

That made sense. ICU visits were strictly regulated.
