SIXTEEN

Fawn

I turned the corner and walked down a tidy block, memories of the years Esther and I had spent here taking over. Everything was almost the same, so much so that I could picture the little girl I’d been, so hopeful, so anxious to start life. I missed that little girl, but I knew that she was gone forever, and I needed to find the woman who would take her place. Doing this would be the first step.

I walked up the small porch and knocked.

As I waited, listening to the person inside moving around, it hit me that it was nine in the morning, right around the time when most people would be headed to work, after that even.

The door opened.

“Fawn?”

Esther looked at me with question in her eyes and then stood silent.

I furrowed my brow, stared up at her, her round, deceptively angelic face a mask of confusion.

“Hi, Esther. I⁠—”

My words were cut off by the tight embrace that she pulled me into. She crushed me against her, holding me as if she never wanted to let me go. And I held her back, tears flowing from my eyes.

“You were going somewhere?” I asked after a long moment.

“Nowhere important,” she said as she pulled back a fraction of an inch to look at me, not smiling but the joy in her eyes unmistakable. “Come in,” she said.
