Chapter 124

Tabitha sat on the edge of the bed. The nurse had brought her a mirror so she could see what she looked like. She wasn’t allowed to get out of the bed unless they helped her because she was considered a fall risk. Her body was so weak that she trembled every time she moved. She looked in the mirror at the top of her hair. She had reddish-blonde hair.

Why had she dyed her hair black? She’d apparently kept it that way for a long time. She looked at the picture that she’d been given by Mark. She was dark-headed in it as well. She was smiling at the little boy in the picture. He looked like he was two then. She looked at her roots again. She found she liked her natural color better, so why had she kept it covered up?
