CHAPTER Seven

Letty had trouble waking up. Or rather, getting up. She felt heavy. Something in her weighed a ton. It always did anyway, if she thought about it. Every day she woke up, got up thinking about all that was wrong in the world, more precisely all that was wrong with the treatments of animals in the world.

The more involved she’d gotten in Animal Protection, the more she’d thought that was going to change. Her life those past eight years, since her first protest, had been a rollercoaster. In a way, taking action and doing something made her feel better, yet every day she woke up with this heavy feeling, knowing that no matter what she did, there were still millions of animals who would be killed or tortured one way or another that day. Sometimes it was hard to keep on smiling, so she had focused more and more on them, becoming always more involved, searching for those moments, those actions that made her feel a little better, needing more and more of them to keep on facing this life.

Her meeting with Larry, as they only called him by his first name, had been a turning point. Finally, she was going to do something that would really matter, that would actually save some animals, free them. She had been ecstatic. Maybe she would even go one day without feeling like the weight of the world was on her shoulders which, sadly, is what most of her fellow AP activists feel like. She had been so into it, involving Ricky and her little group. And then the plan had popped up. It had seemed so simple and the path so clear and obvious. Everyone had seemed high, their only drug being the prospect of freeing animals, for real this time. Not just protesting or making petitions in that hope.

Then the plan unfolded, a certain anticipation, eagerness mixed with a bit of fear. But still the path was so clear. So bright in fact that it blinded the way to any other possible paths. There was just this one.

And then Sarah happened, and Letty had found herself smiling more than often for reasons that had nothing to do with Animal Protection. A very confusing—and certainly unexpected—fact. She hadn’t understood where it had come from. And now that she did, she wished she didn’t. It felt good, yet it was a wall, a wall she couldn’t climb. A wall that would fall on her anytime soon.

The faint odor of her vegan bacon made her smile though, once again. Knowing Sarah was up and cooking a vegan breakfast, most probably for both of them, stirred yet another one of those estranged good feelings. She stayed in bed, though, afraid of seeing Sarah. Afraid of falling deeper into her big blue eyes, always filled with stars, like that of a child. Sarah always seemed to live in a world of her own. She was a kind, quiet and yes, somewhat naïve young woman. Letty never thought that this combination, packed in a gorgeous body, would break her this way.
