“Anna, why aren’t you opening your eyes? What are you hiding from?” Chloe said in a whispered tone. Her voice was brimming with excitement.

Anna maintained her calm smile. “Did my eyes react to the light? That’s amazing news! I must go to the hospital and ask if this is a sign of me regaining vision soon!”
“Anna, stop acting already! Do you dare to open your eyes?”
