This story takes place while Taylor and Steffy are sitting on the floor in Morgan's house coloring. Tim and Taylor have a conversation about Morgan, and Taylor tells Tim that Ridge has his hints that Steffy is alive, when Tim asks her what she says she can't say. Tim leaves the room, this is the moments afterwards.

Written in the first person.


I watch Tim walk out of the room and I ask myself if he is as stupid as he seemed to be. He really thinks Morgan loves him, even though she's always running out of the house to go see Ridge, my husband. That brings another thought to mind, I wonder if Ridge has seen the picture yet. The one that Steffy drew and I stuck in Morgan's purse while she wasn't looking. 'Please Ridge, please, find the picture.' I think to myself, I know that if he just sees that picture he'll know that Steffy is alive, and that Morgan has her, and me, and he'll save us. Morgan says I'm losing him, I know she's wrong though, if anything I feel my soul being closer to Ridge through these past couple of months. Morgan says she'll have Ridge, I say she's a nutcase.

"Mommy." I hear Steffy's voice and look at her, she holds up another colored picture, I smile at my beautiful daughter.

"That's so good, Steffy, we'll show it to daddy when we see him." I say, Steffy smiles up at me and returns to her drawing. I can't believe how smart she is for a two year old, just like her twin sister. I miss my family, I'm thankful that I at least have Steffy though. She is all the Hope I can grasp and hug right now, and I know that if I were without her I'd die. I look around Morgan's living room, everything has been moved out of the range I can reach, but it's so much better than being locked in that fall out shelter. I hope that Ridge finds us soon and saves us. But until then I'll just draw with Steffy, hug her, and hold on to her, she's the only hope I can hold right now, and I'm going to keep it that way.
