I’d never seen a child s a backseat to Luke

“Really? Do you think I should play? My mom won’t let me, but maybe if you talked to her…” Daniel’s eyes ide

“She won’t let you play? That’s bull—”

I quickly elbowed hilared at him

“I mean That’s a shame” He tried to cover up his s, but kids weren’t one of them

“But could you talk to her? She’ll be back any minute”

Luke nodded “Sure, but I’ any promises Mom’s make the rules sometimes”

I sets here? Any requests?”

Daniel looked at the ceiling, sorting through his choices “Can you play ‘Heaven Sent’?”

“Of course I can Let’s see if Luke knows the words” I eyed e of the bed and propped uitar on my knee “Ready?”

“Ready”

After three songs we said goodbye to Daniel and his mom Stacey She followed us to the door

“Thank you” She squeezed my hand

“You’re welcome I hope it cheered him up”

She leaned closer to us “He’s on the transplant list We’re praying for a miracle”
