Nancy didn't know how long she had been crying, but her body felt utterly exhausted. She barely noticed as Judson lifted her from the car and carried her to the bedroom.

"Nancy, if you're tired, just sleep. Everything will be better when you wake up," Judson said softly, holding her hand firmly.

Malcolm's expression turned grim. "We failed. Judson intervened."
