Summary
Lisa felt bad for Maggie. Really bad.
She knew what autism was from the beginning, knew Maggie had it, but she didn’t find it necessary to tell anyone about it. She didn’t want to make anybody feel miserable, but the truth was still going to be uncovered either way.
That day, when Marge put Maggie to bed, Lisa came into the room right after. Maggie was staring at the ceiling, sucking on her pacifier. Lisa sat on her knees by the bed.
“Oh Maggie, you poor, poor thing.” she spoke under her breath, “Don’t worry, everything will be fine. One day, you’ll talk to us, and I bet that you’ll be as smart as me.”
Lisa smiled, beaming with hope. “I know you can understand me. I know you do. I’ll be here when you need me.” She got up and closed the door gently behind her.
