Chapter 12

December 21, 2016, Winter Solstice

Myra got off the bus and trudged the fifty feet down the laneway to their home. It was a week since the incident in the spare room upstairs and things had been quiet. Even so, every time she entered the house, her gaze darted around, unsure of what would meet her.

She’d even gone back to saying prayers on a regular basis; not just every now and then. Nightly prayer had been a habit all through grade school and even the first few years of high school. But she stopped when she was in the eleventh grade; the stupid and tragic deaths of Mom and Dad turned her away from God.

The priest had tried to console Tony and her. He told them that Mom and Dad were in a far better place but she never bought into that. Her parents loved them. For them, nothing would have been better than being with their kids every day. Who did God think he was to destroy her family like that?

She started having second thoughts about that decision when this last pregnancy began. If anything, the earlier miscarriages taught her that life was a miracle.

In the foyer, she shrugged off her coat and hung it up. Looking to the living room, and then up the staircase, she shuddered. A quote from the Old Testament had been running through her head since that day of the ‘visitation from Evelyn’:

“There are yet hid greater things than these be, for we have seen but a few of his works.”

She was still resentful of what God had done to her parents. But she hoped he was still in her corner. She had a strong feeling that she and Barry were going to need all the help they could get. She had even taken to wearing her gold crucifix again.

The cat slinked down the hall and began tracing figure eight patterns through her legs with its sleek body. She slipped her feet out of the winter boots and bent to pick Leia up. The cat immediately began purring and rubbing its head against her chin.

“How’s my little Princess?” She scratched its ear and held it close, wandering through the dining room and then into the kitchen. Leia purred louder and its eyes blinked with lazy ease as she pushed her head into Myra’s fingers for more.

When she went to put it down, it climbed higher on her shoulder and licked her ear lobe. Myra smiled and held the cat close, meandering into the kitchen. The cat never wanted to leave her when she was home. It tolerated Barry but it was obvious the cat adored her. The feeling was fast becoming mutual.

Gosh, she was bone tired. With only four days until Christmas, the stores were crazy busy. That in turn, spilled over into the food industry. She plugged in the kettle and took a mug from the cabinet to plop a tea bag into it. After topping up Leia’s food dish and water, the cat hopped down.
