Cyra is broken. She’s a sobbing mess in my arms, lost in her own mind, lost somewhere I can’t reach her, but I also can’t leave her alone. I have to protect her. I have to make sure she’s safe.
It was heartbreaking to hear the argument between Max and Spence in the other room, and I could almost feel Max’ pain as he sent Spence away. He’s breaking himself to pieces to protect us, to protect our little family, and I wish I could help him. I wish I could help him and take some of that pain away. But I know that I can’t. The only thing I can do is to look after Cyra and Spence, watch over them until he returns. Keep them safe for him.
The door to the small bedroom opens and Spence stumbles inside, his eyes wild, filled with despair. He blinks a few times when he sees me on the bed
