“Wake up, Lily! Wake up!”
I woke up with the sound of my tears muffled against the cushion of mom’s hospital bed.
Someone was shaking my shoulders, and when I slowly lifted my eyes open, I saw Grey.
I remember resting my head on Mom’s bed and falling asleep. When I looked down on the spot where my head had been resting, it was wet with tears, and I realized I’d been crying.
It was just a dream! The thought made me sob in relief.
