Two Years Ago
As Madison looked out the window of the nursery, she just sat there staring into nothing.
Her mother touched her shoulder gently. "Maddie, come down to eat something sweetie, or must I bring you something up hm?"
Madison couldn't respond. She was numb.
Her mom sighed. "Okay baby, I'll keep something aside for you for later when everyone is gone." Her mom returned to leave and suddenly Christian opened the door and came in. "She still won't eat, be easy on her." Her mom whispered to him and walked out the room closing the door behind her.
Chris just looked at his wife's back, she was breathing silently and just sat still, almost corpes-like. He decided to just stand there.
"My parents are here. They ask how you're doing."
A tear pours out of her eyes and she closed them shut, and fiddles with her fingers.
"I told you and my mom I didn't want this. I just want to be alone, please."
