Lucy’s hand, gently caressing Bruce’s cheek, suddenly stiffened. She turned her head to look at Susan, catching the resolute expression on her daughter’s face.

Lucy’s breath caught, tears spilled over her lashes, and she clenched her teeth with a fierce intensity. Finally, the grip of her jaw slowly relaxed.

Susan watched in horror as her mother died in front of her.
