Chapter 20 You Still Remember Your Son, How Charming
- Caitlin was transported back to the fire in her dreams as she slept. All her wails for help were drowned out by the flames. “No! Save me! Save me!” Her body was drenched in sweat as she flailed her arms like a helpless child.
- Lily quickly grabbed her hand and said sadly, “It’s okay, Caitlin, it’s fine. I’m here, girl, I’m here. Don’t be afraid.” Even though she didn’t know what Caitlin had gone through these years, she knew about the fire that happened five years ago; everyone in Ocean City did. Nobody would have been able to recover from a nightmare like that. She heard that the fire engulfed everything and burned for hours on end.
- “It burns! It burns! Save me! It’s killing me!” Caitlin grabbed Lily’s hand tightly as if it was her lifeline. She grabbed on it with all her might, digging her nails into Lily’s skin. Even though Lily was hurt, it wasn’t as painful as the wound she was feeling within her soul.
