"It's incredible that something so small can have such strong lungs," Serena says, thinking of George. The first few nights after she'd brought him home she'd thought she might go mad from his crying. If Pemberton had been there, they might have shared the waking, but she had to handle it all on her own. Now, gratefully, he sleeps through the night most nights, though often her own nightmares spare her the same bliss. "It must have been awful, though, not being able to keep her fed. When George was... in the hospital, it made me feel so lost."
