I’m glad Ryan is meeting me at the church. To be honest, I’m not sure how well my emotions will hold up at this funeral.

These past few days, I’ve done mostly okay on my own, although I have to admit, it’s been nice to have Jasper pop over in the middle of the night. It’s usually during those hours of darkness that the weight of everything seems to grow. Having him show up, to get me inside my dark lonely house, has helped me get to sleep, but I feel guilty about the disruption to his schedule. The only time I am truly alone are the hours before I go back in for my next shift, which is when I struggle most with the thoughts threatening to pull me down.

This morning I set my alarm for ten thirty. Jas left here at about four thirty, so I’ve had six hours at best. I’m still a little groggy as I dig through my closet trying to find something appropriate to wear. All those little slinky dresses I usually wear are inappropriate. Besides, they’re part of the role I’ve played to the outside world, and hiding behind them seems to have become a moot point. It’s only a matter of time before everyone knows I’m not as okay as I pretend to be.

I’m actually surprised my sisters haven’t showed up at my door by now. Tomorrow Damian and Kerry get back, and I have no doubt before the day is out, my mother will be on the phone with him, if she hasn’t interrupted their vacation already.

This reminds me, I should get up to Hermosa this afternoon to air their place out and turn on the AC, it’s bound to be stuffy.

Sick of my indecision, I snatch a pair of black crop pants off a hanger and pair it with a floral tank and my little three-quarter sleeve bolero jacket. I almost don’t recognize myself: my hair back in a low ponytail, a minimum of makeup, and dressed in the modest outfit.

Yet, oddly, I feel more exposed wearing it.
