Helanie:
Me: I didn't want to see anyone. Thank you for the hospitality, but I also learned that this place is not for me anymore.
I hit the send button and raised my head to stare at Lucy, who had been standing next to the window, looking outside for a while now.
"Who found me first?" Lucy asked, making Lamar look up from his phone.
"The nurse!" he said, making both Lucy and I frown at him in confusion.
"That is basically who holds you when you're born. Why? Did you expect a dragon to deliver you?" His joke landed flat, and he understood because he immediately looked down and started playing a game on his phone.
"I don't know. I was too traumatized to ask those questions. But why?" I inquired.
I could tell she was suddenly remembering more, and it seemed important to her.
"There was something that entity wanted me to do--I mean--she said that's what will free her," Lucy bit her tongue as Lamar put his phone down to stare at her almost in disbelief.
