Maybe Alison knew right from the start exactly why she always went to Sarah for help. It's because no one else is around, she tells herself, but she knows that's not true.
Maybe the next time Sarah smiles at her, she'll be prepared, she won't stutter her words. Maybe the next time they share an incidental touch she'll be able to move her hands without shaking.
Maybe, she tells herself, knowing it will never happen.
