Chapter 18 - Evie Draws A New Picture That Changes Everything
Back at Sarah’s house, Ethan spent the evening sitting on the living room floor with Evie and her colored pencils.
Evie pushed a fresh sheet of white paper across the coffee table toward him with a proud smile.
“Look, Daddy, I drew a picture for Mommy when she wakes up,” Evie announced brightly.
Ethan looked down at the drawing, expecting to see another version of her previous sketches.
Instead, the paper showed Ethan, Mara, and Evie standing tightly together in the exact center of the page, holding hands.
There were no empty spaces, no distant reflections, and no lonely edges anywhere on the sheet.
“We’re all right here together,” Evie whispered, pointing a small finger at the three figures.

Ethan felt a tear roll down his cheek as he wrapped his arms tightly around his daughter.
“Yes, sweetheart,” Ethan choked out, kissing the top of her head. “We’re never leaving her alone again.”
