Today was Tessa’s birthday and she knew Cash had something up his sleeve. He was being so secretive and cagey. It had been three weeks since he shared with her about his addiction. It certainly brought them closer together. Neither of them had said “I love you” yet—she knew it was because they were both still afraid. She loved him though—she knew that from the bottom of her heart. They were together more often than not. Of course, they were always at his place. Jonathon was beginning to finally loosen up and stop busting Cash’s balls.

She enjoyed spending time with his friends. Betsy was the complete opposite of her, but quickly becoming a good friend. They’d gone to the movies a few times and took Josie, Stella, and Margot to the zoo and the park.

Jonathon was still being cagey, but he quit being a jerk. She was just going to leave it alone for now and hope he’d come to her if he needed anything. She had the day off and stayed home last night. Cash had come over and stayed for dinner and a movie before leaving around midnight. She hated sending him away but it was her brother’s place and she didn’t feel right about having him sleep over. She had slept in until ten and it felt great. Climbing out of bed she threw on her robe and went across the hall to the bathroom.

She went through her morning routine, making sure that she shaved everything and buffed her skin. She slathered herself in her favorite fall-scented lotion and then threw her robe back on. She decided to do her hair up in a fishtail braid. Back in her room she slid into a matching light blue satin panty set. She had no idea what was going on for her birthday but she wanted to feel pretty. She pulled out a pair of wide-legged khaki pants and a baby blue shirt that hung off her shoulder. Betsy had talked her into buying it when they were out shopping.

Stepping in front of the mirror she smiled at her reflection. She was glowing and she had even begun to put on a little weight. She grabbed her overnight bag and went out into the living room, freezing when she found her brother sitting on the couch with a wrapped gift on his lap.

“Happy birthday, sis.” He held out the package to her. “I wasn’t completely sure what to get you.”

She sat down next to him and started to rip the paper off, opening the box. Peeling back the paper a sob bubbled up in her throat. Gently she lifted the picture frame out. It was a picture of their mom and them. She was sitting on the front steps. Jonathon was on her right and Tessa was right in her lap.

“That was your first day of Kindergarten. I remember she walked us to school that morning and when it was time for you to go inside she started crying and then you started to cry.
