“Don’t be scared.” I shake my head and force a smile. “My mom will take care of you. And Katrina, too.” My mouth quivers. “She’s a little bossy, but she’ll be thrilled to have another little sister. I talk about you all the time. They’ll know who you are. Don’t be scared.” Her next breath is strained and watery. “They’ll know me.” I nod. “They’ll know you and they’ll love you. It’s impossible not to love you.”
NOOOO THE BESTIES
