Was Liam’s original name Ezra? I caught a second sentence other than the one hybrid mentioned where you called him that instead:
Sabina kept on doing it, and Ezra relaxed. Sabina pressed gentle fingers against his wrist and then looked up at Joseph. “He’s slipping,” she said softly.
This was a sad scene. Was Liam a Christian? It seemed like there hadn’t been a chance to even share the gospel with him.
I liked Mr. Callan. He was amusing.
“Yes,” Joseph said. “But Beric, Amelia and I have always wanted children. God may yet give us one, but we have been praying, and we believe He has already given us a son.”
Joseph makes it sound as if he and Amelia have been married for quite a while.
I really expected Beric to put up a different sort of resistance to Joseph and Amelia wanting to adopt him. Why doesn’t he even mention wanting to stay with the other orphans, since he sees himself as their guardian?
Good section. Again, you balanced the seriousness with a bit of light-hearted humour well.

not that I know of. Sadly that’s often the way life works. I feel like it gets redundant if all the characters get to become Christians before something bad happens. You know.

Doctors in books are always so stiff. I wanted to change that trope a little.

Well, I think he sees them as safe now that they’re with Sabina and the others. He knows they are better off were they are. He sees himself as a part of that old life and a part of the darkness in that old life.

Yes. It’s not always God’s will to save everyone we want to be saved, and I’m kind of glad you included it because of that. Your story could become discouraging to some people if everyone is saved, but the people they love in real life remain unbelievers. It’s still sad though.

Changing up tropes is always fun.

Ah, okay.
