Evelyn couldn't see her daughter.

Her eyes darted frantically across the street, searching for any sign of Charlie. She was sure absolutely sure-she'd just heard Charlie's voice. This wasn't her imagination. She wasn't dreaming. She had really, truly heard Charlie calling, "Mom."

Evelyn whispered her daughter's name, and before she knew it, her legs were carrying her straight into the street. The car that had been blocking her view suddenly swung around, heading right for her as she reached the middle of the
