“Regina, I am so sorry,” Harley let out in a rush as the door opened to her. “If I had ever wanted to do a story about you all, which I’m not sure I would have, honestly, this absolutely is not the way I would have gone about it.”

“You meant well,” Regina stated as she wrapped an arm around Harley. “Anyway, your station set up the fund at the bank, and it’s already blessed us so much more than we could have imagined. I don’t even know what to say.”

“Just say you’re not angry with me,” Harley pleaded. “I wish I could go back in time. I’d change everything I said.”

“Oh, don’t fret so much. Come on, Kelsey’s just checking on the ‘help Kelsey meet Zac Efron’ webpage.”

Even with the somber mood in which she had shrouded herself, that statement made Harley laugh out loud. She stepped over to the computer, where Kelsey sat in her pajamas staring at the aforementioned website.

“Hey, Harley. Looks like the movement is gaining some traction, although part of me hopes it fails. What would I say to Zac Efron, really? I would probably pass out with fright.”

“Or he would call you ‘baby girl’ and you would burst of sheer excitement,” Harley teased. “How are you feeling?”

“Tired.”

That one-word answer from Kelsey told Harley more than enough. She had learned in their short acquaintance that Kelsey’s attitude was pensive and cautious when she wasn’t feeling well, and bubbly and talkative when she felt better. That day obviously wasn’t a banner day health-wise for the teenager.

“I can tell my boss that we can’t do the interview,” Harley suggested. “It’s okay, really. There’s been so much going on today already…”

“No, it’s alright,” Kelsey insisted, rising to her feet. “Can I get dressed first?”

“Yes, of course,” Harley told her with a sigh. As she watched Kelsey shuffle away, she lowered herself to the couch. “I really am sorry, Regina. I never meant to ambush you like this. That’s why I told Kenny to give me a few minutes.”

“Kenny?” Regina attempted to clarify.

“My cameraman.” Gazing at the Christmas tree with its blinking lights, Harley swallowed past the lump in her throat. “Actually, there was something I wanted to talk to you about.”

“Anything,” Regina assured her as she sat beside her on the couch. Harley hesitated, feeling her heart beating a bit erratically.

“Well, I…” she began, then reassessed. “Could you tell me…if someone wanted to find out if they would qualify as a donor for Kelsey…?” Harley nervously licked her lips, fighting her jittery emotions.

“I doubt if Kelsey would be comfortable taking that kind of stance in an interview,” Regina quickly stated.

“Oh,” Harley said with a slight flinch. “I didn’t mean to insinuate that. It’s just that if I was a match…if I am a match, I mean, would you take me? Do you think Kelsey would take me?”

Placing her fist against her mouth, Regina focused sad eyes on Harley and stared at her for a moment. Then, without a word, she removed her fist and placed her hand over Harley’s arm, squeezing it gently.
