The house was quiet but heavy, everyone moved slowly, speaking in low voices Mrs Knight sat by the window, her eyes fixed on the street outside Clara was in the kitchen, making tea, but she barely touched it Ava was sitting on the sofa, hugging a pillow, staring at the floor Ryan was in the hospital, still in the coma The doctors said he was stable, his body slowly recovering from the accident But no one knew when he would wake up His breathing was steady, his pulse strong, but his eyes remained closed It made the waiting feel endless Mrs Knight sighed, rubbing her temples “How long will he stay like this?” she asked quietly Clara, bringing her a cup of tea, replied softly, “The doctors said it could take days or weeks we just have to wait, Mum, we cannot do anything else” Ava shook her head, “I hate waiting I want him to wake up now I want to see him open his eyes, even for a moment” Mrs Knight reached out and held her hand “We have to

The house felt heavier that morning, the air thick with worry, Mrs Knight sat in the living room, her eyes tired, her hands folded on her lap Clara, Ryan’s wife, sat beside her, her arms crossed tightly, her face pale Ava was sitting on the floor, hugging her knees, her eyes red from crying The sound of the doorbell made all of them jump Mrs Knight slowly got up and walked to the door she opened it carefully, her heart beating fast Deputy Cole stood there, his hat in his hand, a serious look on his face “Good morning, ma’am,” he said calmly, “May I come in?” Mrs Knight nodded, stepping aside to let him enter Clara stood behind her, Ava still on the floor, watching silently Cole walked in slowly, his eyes scanning the room, taking in the worried faces of the family “I heard about Ryan,” he said softly, “he is still in the hospital, I know and you are all worried” Mrs Knight’s eyes filled with tears, “Yes, Deputy Co

The house was quiet, the night outside dark, the moonlight faintly lighting the living room Clara, Ava, and Mrs Knight were sitting together their faces pale, their hands trembling Ryan was still in the hospital fighting for his life and the house felt empty without him Ava hugged her knees “I can’t stop thinking about him,” she whispered her voice shaking Clara reached out and held her hand “I know, Ava I feel the same” Mrs Knight sat beside them her eyes red from crying “We have to stay calm we cannot let fear take over” Ava shook her head “How can I stay calm when he is in danger and someone broke into the house before” Clara squeezed her hand “We have to be careful we have to stay alert” Mrs Knight nodded “Yes, we need to watch everything any strange call, any visitor anything unusual” The phone rang suddenly Mrs Knight jumped and grabbed it “Hello,” she said quickly Ava looked at her, tense Mrs Knight liste
