I don&#8217;t remember traffic lights or stop signs and gripping the steering wheel so hard my fingers hurt. When I reached the school, I jumped out and ran inside.

As I started driving, planning on taking my baby home, I realized Neil might go there too, and I didn&#8217;t trust him.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">&#8220;Please don&#8217;t leave me again,&#8221; Grace muttered beside me.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"Xl Yl\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">I didn&#8217;t trust him.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">&#8220;I won&#8217;t, my baby,&#8221; I said firmly. &#8220;I&#8217;m taking you to your Aunt Melissa&#8217;s house for a little while.

She&#8217;d let you stay up late and eat ice cream for dinner sometimes.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">A small, uncertain smile appeared.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"Xl Yl\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">&#8220;I won&#8217;t, my baby.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">When we pulled into my younger sister&#8217;s driveway, my heart was still racing.

When he opened the door and saw me, he went pale.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">&#8220;Mary,&#8221; he said carefully.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">He glanced down the hallway, then stepped aside.

There were neurological concerns. But she was never legally declared brain-dead. There were signs of a response. Small ones at first, but they were there.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">I gripped the edge of the chair. &#8220;Response?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">&#8220;Reflex improvement. Brain activity that suggested possible recovery. It wasn&#8217;t guaranteed, but it wasn&#8217;t hopeless either.&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<blockquote class=\"Xl\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">&#8220;Then why did Neil tell me she died?&#8221;<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n<div data-primis-content=\"true\">\n<p class=\"Ul\">Dr. Peterson hesitated. &#8220;I don&#8217;t know, Mary.
