Sam breathes in deep, let's it out on not-quite-a-sigh. Her mouth is still twisted upward in that crooked sort of smile. Shoulder lifting slightly, when it falls she says, "I'd like it if...someday...she could see Jake. I'm not going to hide from him where he's from. That means not hiding him from his birth mom, or her from him.
"But," she says a little brighter, a little rueful, "now's not the time. It doesn't sound like she's ready, and I don't want to do anything that might upset her recovery."
