Kelly's p.o.v continued

Stella dreaded returning home without Malik. She headed straight for the bed where she cried

herself to sleep. Apart of herself had died. She neglected Hannah and me. If I wasn't Hannah's

primary care provider then I would be stuck in a dark state of mind. While Stella recuperated,

we threw away the baby stuff. My coworkers were kind enough to visit us. They brought over

food and household supplies. I was happy to see Stella interacting with the outside world again.
