[Meg]

Chloe sat up slightly and stared out the window blankly. Her thoughts drifted from her son who she felt helpless to protect, and her daughter. She felt as if she'd failed them. And Harrison. She saw him when he held their daughter and she felt guilty for having to bring those emotions out in him.
