Fifteen minutes later, the lights off, Max was in her bed, and I was in mine. Over the earpiece, I listened, trying to hear if she’d fallen asleep.

The pitch-black room was silent, and I hoped that had done its trick. I closed my eyes and started to let myself drift.

And that’s when I heard it. The slightest, softest noise, like what I imagined a mouse’s whimper might sound like.

Was Max crying?

What a fucking day for her: almost die several different ways, then find out your surrogate mom either sold you out or might be in danger.

I’d always thought Max and I came from different worlds, but this? This put her out in some other universe. Scared, tired, afraid—it didn’t seem like anything I could say would make a difference. But, staring upward in the dark, I started with, “I have to tell you, the original ‘Baby, I Love You’ is probably my favorite song of all time.”

Max shifted on her bed, sniffling loudly. “Great. Let me guess, I fucked that up, too.”

“No. Not at all.” I glanced over but couldn’t see her face. “I thought you had your own take on it, you know, which was really good. You didn’t just re-sing it. It meant something different than the original, but it still meant something. You—you put a lot of emotion into it.”

There was a long silence before Max spoke again.

“Thanks,” was all she said.
