Chapter 17 - 3:12 A.M.Leah still woke sometimes at 3:12 in the morning.
For weeks after the attack, she had trained herself to listen for danger.
Every creak.
Every distant engine.
Every unexpected sound.
But one morning she woke and realized something.
Nothing was wrong.
David was sleeping beside her.
Maya was sleeping in the nursery.
The house was quiet.
Safe.
Leah smiled.
For the first time, she had slept through the night.
She reached over and touched David's hand.
He woke.
"Everything okay?"
She whispered:
"Everything is perfect."

David smiled.
And for once, he believed it.
