Chapter 27: RSV

Leo came through the kitchen door without knocking.

It was the first time he'd ever done that.

"Her light," he said. "I saw you turn on her light at the wrong time."

Then he saw her face.

He took Lucy out of my arms and laid her on the kitchen table under the lamp.

He pulled up her sleeper and watched her chest suck in under the ribs.

"How hot?"

"A hundred and three point eight."

"We're not waiting for an ambulance." He was already handing her back. "Get her coat. I'll get the car. Call Libby."

Libby answered on the first ring, sounding like she'd been punched awake.

"Lucy's sick. We're going to Maine Med. I need someone with the other three."

"I'm putting on my boots," she said. "Go."

Leo drove with his hazard lights on and both hands on the wheel.

I sat in the back next to Lucy's car seat with my hand on her chest.

Every breath grunted under my palm.

"Talk to me," I said. "Say anything."

"She's tough," he said. "She came out at two pounds nine and screamed at a surgeon."

"Say something else."

"The turkey was a parallelogram."

I laughed, and then I was crying, and I kept my hand on her chest.
