Chapter 5 – The Scar

That afternoon, Evelyn visited a rehabilitation hospital.

A young burn survivor recognized the scar across her shoulder.

"Does it still hurt?"

Evelyn smiled gently.

"Sometimes."

"Were you scared?"

"Every day."

The child traced a finger over her own scar.

"My mom says scars are ugly."

Evelyn shook her head.
