Summer never has visitors. She scrambles out of her chair and pulls the door open, blinking up at Toni. \u201cToni?\u201d Immediately she can tell something\u2019s wrong. \u201cWhat is it?

She strokes his hair. \u201cDon\u2019t say that. Don\u2019t say that, Toni, you don\u2019t know that. Sometimes you can\u2019t have what you want; things just don\u2019t allow for it.

“Shhh,” she murmurs, kissing his hair. “I’m here. It’s okay. You don’t need to do anything, just be here with me. Let it go.” She rocks a little, and barely brushes him with her empathy, easing away the worst of the ache bit by bit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
