Not on your life, Mother.

Shelby picked up the journal and studied it against the bright light haloing her hands. The phone on the bed stopped vibrating, magnifying the stillness of the house. Running a finger around the slightly frayed edge of the leather, Shelby laid the journal on her chest.

Looking up, she could see the ceiling fan needed dusting, but she could also picture Rebecca as a girl lying on the bed, looking up at the same gray ceiling trimmed with white molding. What had Rebecca dreamed about?

Or had she dreamed of being a fashion designer? Or maybe she’d prayed to make cheerleader? Or hoped to get the prized solo in the choir? Dreams, prayers, hopes...that’s what being a girl entailed.

A sudden warmth grew in Shelby’s stomach, radiating throughout her body. She often received the same sort of peaceful intuitiveness when she practiced Shavasana in her yoga class, when she connected to herself. Strange to feel so reflective and at peace after a difficult conversation with her mother.

Yet, lying in the small space with nothing but the warm sun shining in and the wind tangling the chimes on the porch, Shelby felt touched by something she couldn’t begin to describe.
