down the hallway and grabbed the handle.
“Daniel, open the door.”
There was silence inside.
“Daniel, open this door right now!”
I heard whispering, followed by the sound of running water. I began pounding on the door.
“Mommy, wait!” Lily called from inside.
Hearing her tell me to wait only frightened me more.
“Open the door!” What happened next read in the comments‼️👇‼️👇
Finally, the lock turned. The door opened, and I rushed inside.
Daniel was standing beside the sink. Lily was next to him, fully dressed. There was no steam in the room, and no one had been bathing. But a small speaker was sitting on the floor, and colorful pieces of paper had been stuck to the mirror.
One of them read:
“You are stronger than your fear.”
