Chapter 13 - A Promise to LeoLeo's recovery was slow.
He woke from nightmares.
He was afraid of dark rooms.
He sometimes refused to walk near walls.
Arthur stayed beside him every night.
But Sarah helped too.
She read him stories.
She played board games.
She taught him how to make pancakes.
One evening, Leo asked:
"Are you my babysitter?"
Sarah smiled.
"No."
"What are you?"
She looked at Arthur.
Arthur smiled.
"Family."
Sarah's eyes filled with tears.
Leo grinned.
"Then you have to stay."

Sarah laughed.
"Apparently, I do."
