11: Confirming Premonitions

Heidi Stockton

January 30, 2735 – 12 Hours Later – Afternoon

Heidi parked her barely used Corvette in the garage and cut the engine. It was actually the vehicle that her sister had bought brand new and tried giving to Lily months ago as a way to ask for forgiveness, only for Lily to decline the gift.

Which Heidi completely understood.

It was super awkward accepting such an expensive present.

But at least Heidi got a gorgeous car out of the ordeal. It was a beautiful pearly white, and the only model that had four seats instead of two.

But still, even after having taken it out a few times, she felt uneasy about driving it. After all, prior to being unable to drive anywhere for three years, it had only been about a year that her citizen ID had driving privileges. And she hadn’t driven a ton during that time, which meant she might as well still be a brand-new driver, especially when considering how long she went without the practice.

But today she decided that it was a good day to get out a little.

Earlier that morning, Freya had called Heidi to ask if she would be alright with staying home today instead of coming over, only to also ask if she could drop Rose off later for a sleepover.

All within a matter of seconds, Heidi had felt devastated and then elated.

But that still left her home alone all day.

Thus, Heidi was just returning from a trip to the mall, knowing she needed to get out more and stop being such a recluse. However, the driving portion really stressed her out, causing her to just put the car in autopilot halfway home. She could have done that anyway, but she felt incompetent not being able to do something very well that was as basic as driving a car.

Although really, if she was being honest, the whole trip stressed her out since it was the first time she had gone anywhere in public by herself in forever. She was okay with being by herself in general, but being around people by herself gave her anxiety.

The trip had been uneventful though. No one bothered her, and she got a huge grin from one of the male cashiers, which was nice.

In the end, she ended up buying some lotion, along with twelve diamond earrings, only eleven of which she intended to use. Four in each ear, two in her bottom lip, and one for her nose. It had been way too long since she had all her piercings, and she decided it was time to put them back in. She especially missed the snake-bites that she had gotten on her sixteenth birthday.

She just wasn’t looking forward to sticking them in, but knew the pain wouldn’t last long.

Heidi also bought a cute boardgame that she thought Rose might enjoy, although she was fine with doing whatever the little girl wanted.

Gathering her two small bags, she headed inside, debating whether or not she wanted to get the piercings over with now or later.
