Lying on her bed in her room across the hall, Elizabeth was also conscious of every crinkle Jess’ diaper made, and smiled to herself when Jess stopped outside her door and knocked.
“Lizzy?” a timid voice came. Jess had never called her “Lizzy” before.
“It’s open Jessie, come on in.” she replied from within.
Jess took a deep breath, opened the door and walked into her sister’s room. She found Elizabeth sitting on her bed as if awaiting her.
“Come over here and sit with me, sis.” Elizabeth beckoned.
