“Andy.” I swallow a lump in my throat. “Can you turn the light on?” “Of course, sweetheart.” He pulls on the cord for the lights, and the room lights up. But it’s not normal light. The light coming from overhead is almost blinding. It’s super bright, like nothing I’ve ever experienced before. I let go of Andy’s hand and clasp my own hands over my eyes to block it out. And then I hear the sound of the door slamming shut. “Andy!” I call out. “Andy!”
