“Grandma, Jake says that if you see it, you’ll cry a lot.”
I felt my blood run cold.
But the most frightening moment was still ahead.

“I know, Lily. But please, just a little longer. We have to finish before tomorrow.”
“What if Grandma finds out?”
Jake answered with a sentence I still cannot forget.
“Then she’ll find out what Mom told us never to tell her.”
Slowly, I pushed the door open.
And at that exact moment, I saw something I could never have imagined, not even in my worst nightmares.
Lily was sitting on a tiny chair, tears streaming down her cheeks.
