Christine's heart nearly jumped out of her chest when she caught Adrian's cold stare at her doorway last night. The chill running down her spine lingered long after he left.
After Adrian's departure, she clung tightly to Ethan's pajamas as she drifted off to sleep.
The next day was Labor Day. Christine got up early, had breakfast, and headed to the hospital with aromatherapy sachets to spend the holiday with Ethan. Rebecca had ordered takeout from Ethan's favorite restaurant. Even though her son couldn't eat, she insisted on celebrating the holiday properly.
Today's visiting hours were moved to the morning, still fifteen minutes per person, with Rebecca going first. Before visiting, she called Adrian, asking him to come see his brother at noon so they could have a family lunch together.
