CHAPTER 14
Megan stumbled out of the guest room after just a few hours of sleep, still wearing her pajamas and groggy from staying up so late talking. Scott and Susannah were at the couch, and Megan froze in the hallway when she saw her brother’s face. “What’s wrong?”
Scott frowned and rubbed Susannah’s shoulder.
“It’s Kitty,” he explained without looking up. “She’s got another fever.”
“Uh-oh.” Megan stepped into the living room. “Is there anything I can do to help? Does she need something?”
Scott shook his head. “We’re friends with her doctor. She’s on her way over now.”
Megan was about to joke about how she’d better change out of her pajamas, but the mood in the room was so heavy she stopped herself and instead took the seat next to Susannah.
“Are you two okay?” she asked quietly.
