June's thoughts after Gracie's visit
June sat in that all too familiar hospital room, gazing down at her little girl, the angel that gave her the strength to get up every morning. Suddenly, she was finding hard to breath. Could she go against her daughter's wishes and give her the heart of the very man that ruined their lives? Tears ran down her cheek. Yes, she could. 'If Elizabeth were alive she would be preparing for graduation.' June brushed her cheeks with the backs of her thumbs. 'Claire is going to have a future' She had to take Shays heart. Otherwise, they may not find Claire another match before it was too late. Another question wandered back into her mind. Why did Shay want to give Claire his heart? 'If he thinks giving Claire his ruthless heart will atone for taking my husband and Elizabeth, he's wrong' June thought bitterly, but then she thought back to what Gracie had said. 'no' She felt clammy, sick. 'Kurt loved Elizabeth' Gracie had been sexually abused by her foster father so she was afraid of the dark. June remembered all the times she tucked Elizabeth. Elizabeth's eyes would get wide with fear then… 'Mommy please leave the lights on' June darted to the bathroom and emptied the contents of her stomach. She couldn't bear the thought. It was impossible, wasn't it?
