“I’m not going to do it.”
Laura’s face changed instantly.
The relief disappeared from her eyes.
“What did you just say?” she whispered.
I looked at her.
“I said no.”

His condition had been getting worse, and the doctors had told us he needed a bone marrow transplant.
Laura had been tested.
Her parents had been tested.
