Chapter 13 Gary looked at me very seriously and said , " Jessica , long time no see . " I choked up , unable to make a sound , just pressing a hand to my aching chest . This version of myself - I hadn't seen her in so long . Unexpectedly peaceful and beautiful , as if asleep . No pain showed on my face ; everything below my neck was draped in a lovely dress . The dress was a style I'd worn before marriage , my favorite sky - blue . I leaned closer , gently resting my hand over Sweetie's small one . " Sweetie will grow up beautiful too , even more than Mommy . " Sweetie studied me intently for a long while . I think I didn't disappoint her . I turned to Gary , offering solemn thanks : " Thank you , Uncle Gary . " Gary reached out , softly enclosing Sweetie's outstretched hand in his . After a pause , he told Sweetie : " Time to say goodbye to Mommy . " Sweetie stayed silent , only nodding . Gary gathered Sweetie back into his arms , his hand resting lightly on the back of her head . I watched as the staff slowly wheeled me into the crematorium .

My radiant youth smiled from the stone . A photo he'd taken at my coming - of - age ceremony . I watched the ceremony proceed step by step . Watched Gary bow holding Good Girl , then turn to leave .

Good Girl truly survived . " My existence solidified , heart finally settling . Good Girl remained my soul's anchor , tethering me to this world . " Good Girl , Mommy's still here . I'll stay with you . " Hope bloomed - perhaps I'd witness her grow . We drove back to Gary's country estate . 37.7 % My drifting thoughts were brought back the moment the trunk opened . Gary picked up the box containing my belongings , carrying the little one in his arms as the group re- turned to the Country Estate . The little one was still young and went to rest in his room after dinner . Gary watched until the child fell asleep before sitting at the desk to examine the box's contents . Atop everything lay the rabbit pillow . It bore no dust or damage . Yet I could instantly tell its stuffing had been disturbed . " Seems they found all the letters I hid inside . " My non - existent heart pounded . Sure enough , beneath the pillow lay letters I'd concealed within . Gary carefully smoothed the pillow's surface . He lingered before setting it aside .
