A child who should 9d5541f175 have died was now 5351936629 alive and moving around 915845d7cd as if nothing had 9534c85dc8 happened. Charlotte considered 51216342f8 this a 3691d67927 miracle.4262ff1fcf2ae8da

I hoped 46663ad548 he’d come 618ed8455e out today, 030b216c85 too. Looking back, he 433f850ad7 probably peeked around 1788d8075c out of curiosity 19d690a15f that day. It’s understandable.
