The weeks slipped by without names. The only thing that marked them were the books stacked on the floor.
Claire came back when she was better, but she was changing.
Her cheeks hollow, every movement slow. Sometimes she had to sit on a chair to catch her breath.
“Thank you,” Mom whispered every time, as though words could hold Claire up.
Each visit she was thinner and weaker. She was still our lifeline, still the one bringing food and books, but the sight of her made my stomach twist.
One morning it wasn’t Claire who came through the wardrobe. It was Hugh again. His face looked pale, his jaw tight. He set down the tray without a word and left again almost immediately.
We knew something was wrong.
That afternoon we heard voices. Strange voices, muffled but clear enough: men and women we didn’t know, their footsteps heavy on the stairs, their shoes squeaking across the floorboards. A cough, not Claire’s this time but hers echoing back, deep and ragged. Doors opening and closing. The scrape of a chair being pulled across the floor.
“Doctors,” Dad whispered. His face had gone pale.
We sat perfectly still. Even the lamp was turned off, though we knew no light could seep out. It felt dangerous just to breathe. Every creak of the house made me stiffen.
I pressed my ear to the wall. I caught only fragments.
Then silence, broken by Claire’s cough, longer and harsher than before.
Hours passed like that, the strangers moving in and out, voices dipping and rising. Each time footsteps came down the hall, I thought they’d stop at the wardrobe, push back the coats and find us.
But they never did.
Finally, the house was quiet. No one had come to see us. No food. No word.
The bucket filled. The lid did little to contain he stench.
The next evening the wardrobe opened again, and for a moment I thought it would be Hugh. But it was Claire.
She looked smaller, as if the air itself had worn her down. Her cheeks were hollow, her eyes shadowed, but she carried a tray with both hands, lips pressed tight like holding it steady took all she had left.
Mom rose quickly. “You shouldn’t...”
“I wanted to,” Claire said. Her voice was rough, almost gone. She set the tray on the table, then slipped a thin book from under her arm and placed it in mine. The Secret Garden.
“For you,” she whispered.
I stared at the title. My throat felt thick.
