Kane. Thanks to Elijah’s return, work flew by today, with the load feeling lighter than usual. I felt relieved, especially because I had left Ella in bed this morning. She was so exhausted that she couldn’t even pry open her eyelids when I tried to wake her up, an obvious result of last night. I could hear Jessica’s piercing screams from the room next door, and I gave her some space. However, I remained awake throughout it all, even when Ella returned to bed three hours later. Lost in thought, she lay there for a while before finally succumbing to sleep. Not wanting to disturb her, I lay there with my eyes closed. She carries the weight of blame for what happened to Jessica, and it pains me to see her punishing herself. But. Thats My baby girl, always shouldering the blame for things
