CHAPTER 20

Next to New Me

Anita needed sundresses. “Hot fashion for a hot summer.”

I’d already taken in my summery things and Tyler warned me to stay out of his clothes. Mom had brought home two new dresses when she’d gone shopping with Lydia (on my birthday), which got me thinking, planning, and waiting for the right moment.

Monday morning, spring vacation, Tyler was still asleep and Mom had left for work. I tiptoed down the hall, past Tyler’s bedroom, into Mom’s room, and across the floor to her closet. I opened the door. It squeaked and I froze. Forget it, Hope! My eyes wandered to Mom’s dresser and touched the photo of my baby self, curled in her arms, snuggled against her checkered dress, on that sunny day in March twelve years ago.

I could have stayed in that warm picture forever but reminded myself of the mission and quickly moved through the hanging clothes, stopping at the blue and white homecoming dress. My heart stopped as I grasped the hanger and pulled the dress from the closet.
