ASHAL
Please Maddi, one more spoon?"
Maddi shoves my hand away, tucks the duvet around herself and lays down with empty eyes fixated at the wall. Sighing, I put away the dishes and rub my hands together.
"Hey, um, so I finally sold the penthouse. Yeah, to a nice man and his fiancée. They already love the interior design save for a few changes but they're happy they got it for a great price. I'm thinking of selling the other one too. I don't think I want any reminders of my past."
She says nothing, and hardly even moves. Not even an eye twitch. "Um, Lily's trial went well. She'll be locked away for a very long time. You never have to worry about running into her, at least not for the next ten years."
The air in the room is uncharacteristically still even with the balcony door flung open.
I lean forward and pat her hair. "The baby is strong. It'll graduate from the ICU healthy. The doctor told me."
"Liv?"
