A few weeks had passed, but the eighteen hours or so that Mia spent in that warehouse were still fresh in her mind. She had nightmares for many nights following the ordeal. I was grateful that she was living with me so that I could help her through each one.

She often woke up crying, especially during those first couple of weeks. When that happened, I usually took her into the living room so we could cuddle on the couch together. I held her on my lap and murmured soothing words of comfort into her ear until she calmed down.
