“She’s out of the coma,” one said. “We can’t explain it.”

She spoke again.
And what she said made Daniel’s heart stop.
“I wasn’t alone,” she whispered. “There was a little girl… she kept talking to me. She wouldn’t let me give up.”
That evening, Lily returned.
Emily saw her—
And tears filled her eyes instantly.
“It was you,” she said weakly. “You brought me back.”
