Making her feel worse
James’s mother grasped Sarah’s hands gently, her gaze steady and searching. “Sarah, my dear,” she said softly, “what are you doing here?” Tears welled in Sarah’s eyes, spilling over before she could stop them.

The entire scene felt unreal, like a twisted nightmare she desperately wanted to escape. She silently begged to wake up, but this was no dream—it was her reality.
