A tragic loss leaves Eliza imprisoned by grief and fear until a teenage girl befriends her. However, Eliza doesn’t realize the girl is hiding a life-changing secret about who she is.
“Can’t it wait until tomorrow morning?” Robert asked.
Eliza gaped at her husband.
“No, it can’t. Robert, we must have milk for cereal and coffee tomorrow morning. You know I bake on Tuesdays, and you know that means you need to get milk on your way home.”
Robert sighed. He was tired from a long day at work and had been looking forward to relaxing at home. One look at Eliza’s face told him there’d be no peace if he didn’t go back for the milk.
Well, the sooner he left, the sooner he’d return. The shop was close by, so he didn’t bother to wear his jacket despite the fog lingering in the darkness outside.
