Chapter 5 - The Child Who Had Never Spoken Began Singing the Song I Used to Hum to Her Before She Was StolenLeah started talking.
Then laughing.
Then singing.
One night, she sang a lullaby.
The same song I used to hum while pregnant.
Damian stared.
“You taught her that?”

Not my name.
My love.
That changed everything.

I no longer needed to wonder whether I had been her mother.
