Emergence
“Her encounter with Mrs. Pemberton had shaken her so badly she hadn’t left the house all day. And she hadn’t called any daycares. Which meant she had to call in sick again. Soon daycare wasn’t going to matter, because she wouldn’t have a job to go.Get it together, Emma. This is ridiculous. She was an old woman and Emma had simply overreacted. Jake thought she was bad because he’d sensed Emma’s anxiety. In fact, the more she thought about it, she could attribute everything to Jake’s sensitivity. The children’s accidents had been a coincidence. Jake couldn’t predict the future. He was an intelligent child, mature for his age, and that frightened people.After dinner, she’d convinced herself hiding at home was ridiculous and told Jake they were going to walk to the park.He shook his head, backing away form her. “No, Mommy. It’s not safe.”Emma chastised herself. Her paranoia had freaked Jake out. “It’s safe, Jake. Mommy was overreacting.”Jake’s eyes welled with tears.
