CHAPTER 6 — Six Months Later, We Learned the Truth About the Hero Living in Our Home
The renovation took nearly three months.
Every contaminated wall was removed.
The damaged plumbing was replaced.

The asthma diagnosis was officially withdrawn.
No inhalers.
No medication.

Only one thing had changed.
Whenever Daisy scratched at a door...
Or stared at a wall...
We never ignored her again.
Because sometimes...
