“Sammy?” Helen had just been about to head out to visit Boone at the psychiatric hospital when she saw Samantha running home in tears. “Weren’t you at school? Why are you back all of a sudden?”

Samantha burst into sobs and threw herself into Helen’s arms, choking out the full story of what had happened at school.

Samantha’s expression froze for a second–but she quickly forced a cheerful smile. “Sure. I’ll go with you.”

Helen nodded in satisfaction and headed toward the car, still mumbling, “Boone
