    His face is still pale, even though a week has passed since the accident. But he’s alive — and finally asked to see me. And I’m trembling like someone bewitched, because I don’t know what this conversation will bring. “Ada… don’t divorce me.” “What? Why?!” “It’s Yaryna… She needs guardianship. I’m the only one who can take care of her.” My heart seemed to miss a beat as my mind grasped the reason. “Yaryna? God… what happened to her?” “Social services… If we divorce, they won’t let me have her. They want a stable family. I’ve decided. I don’t want the little one being shuffled around orphanages. But of course, you can refuse.” “You’re asking me to stay? For Yaryna’s sake?” “Please, Ada. At least for a while. For the child.”
