Lynn sat on the edge of the bed, her back pressed against the cold wall as she stared at the closed door. She had been sitting there for what felt like hours, but she had no idea how much time had actually passed. Victor ha made her go back into the room.
There was no clock in the room or phone. No way to tell whether it was day or night.
The only thing she knew was that Victor had left her alone again.
She didn't know where he had gone or when he would return and that scared her more than anything.
Her hand slowly moved to her stomach. The baby. That was the first thing she thought about every time fear started taking over.
She closed her eyes.
"Please be okay," she whispered.
She wasn't only talking to the baby.
She was talking to Alex too. The thought of Alex waking up and reaching for her made tears fill her eyes.
She quickly wiped them away.
"No."
She couldn't cry. She needed to stay calm and to think.
