Chapter 115

Unsure where she found the courage, Linda stepped out of the car, rubbing her hands on her pants nervously. “I bought a dress that I thought would suit you.”

With that, she opened the plastic bag she held and retrieved one of the two dresses in it.

Quinlyn turned her head and saw Linda’s rough fingers delicately holding the corners of the dress in front of her chest. It was a pink polka dot dress with a sequined hem–just right for a ten–year–old.

Seeing no reaction from Quinlyn, Linda felt momentarily at a loss. “I just wanted to thank you, but I’m not sure if you like it

or not.”

“Can I hug you?” Quinlyn whispered.

Linda was taken aback, wondering if she had heard that right..

Quinlyn pressed her lips together and quietly repeated, “Can I hug you?“

Linda didn’t fully understand what it meant, and a moment of bewilderment crossed her face. But instinctively, she nodded. Quinlyn was her lifesaver, and she’d agree to any request Quinlyn made.

At that, Quinlyn buried her face deeper into Linda’s embrace. “Okay.”

As the police car drove away, Linda promised through the window that she would visit once her daughter got better. Quinlyn stood by the roadside, holding the dress and waving. Only after the car turned the corner did she walk away.
