I left my daughter with my brother, but the moment I walked back in, I knew something was wrong. The house was too quiet—eerily still. No cartoons, no laughter, no scattered toys. Just silence… and that awful, sinking feeling in my gut.
I hadn’t wanted to leave her with Jamie. He had a messy past—drinking, disappearing, disappointing. But my sitter canceled last minute, and my neighbor was out of town. Jamie said he’d changed. Swore he could handle it. I wanted to believe him, just this once.
I stepped inside and called her name. Nothing. Her favorite stuffed bunny was missing from the couch. Her room was a wreck—drawers open, blankets tossed. My heart pounded. It felt like they had vanished. I was already dialing 911 when I heard keys at the door.
Jamie walked in, holding Lila wrapped in a blanket. His face was pale. “She had a seizure,” he whispered. “I rushed her to the ER.” No time to call. No hesitation. She was safe—because of him. And in that moment, I didn’t see the brother I feared. I saw the man who saved my little girl.
