Chapter 2 When I opened my eyes again , sunlight poured into a warm , familiar bedroom . Morning dew sparkled on the flowers outside the window . The door creaked open . There she was - my little girl , clutching her pillow , her curls messy , her eyes half - closed . She climbed onto the bed , kissed my cheek , and whispered , " Morning , Mommy . " My throat closed up , tears spilling before I could stop them . I crushed her in my arms . She was alive . My baby was alive . This time , nothing - nothing - would touch her .

Back then David told me he didn't even like her - said she was too ambitious , too sharp . " Not like you . You're gentle . Different . " But later , they grew closer and closer . And I thought it was for my sake , so I wouldn't feel awkward . I was even glad my husband and my best friend got along . The truth ? They were screwing behind my back the whole time . And the only idiot in the room was me . In my last life , David explained that after taking her to the ER , it was too late to come home .
