Cold Season
I tried to comfort them, but inside, I was a wreck.
Then, from behind us, came a heart-wrenching sob.
"Chloe, Mommy's here to see you."
I spun, startled. There they were: Sheila, Natalie, and Jeff.
They had been tailing me, it seemed.
Sheila ignored me and lunged for the gravestone, her fingers tracing Chloe's picture as she sobbed. "Chloe, I'm so sorry. I'm too late."
The sight made my blood boil. I wanted to shoo her away, but then I thought better of it. If Chloe could see us, she would not want me to turn her mom away.
