She wanted to go to the hospital to see Charlie.

Her voice wavered. "Do you think... maybe Winnie hasn't really left?"

Ben paused, his gaze softening. "Those who leave don't disappear. They've just gone somewhere else, waiting to reunite with us someday."

Jamie silently repeated his words, tears slipping down her cheeks. Not wanting him to see her vulnerable, she turned her back to him and quietly endured the bitterness of her grief.
