Deadly Interest
“Lucy ran at me, all arms and smiles, and threw herself into a bear hug.
As I pulled her close, I thought again about how I felt so much like her older sister, not three years her junior. She had bright blond curly hair, cut about shoulder length, and as I ran my hand across the back of her head, I felt a rough patch of knots. Lucy always twisted the back of her hair when she was nervous.
She was only five-foot-two; I was a good four inches taller. They say Williams Syndrome gives its victims a ...pixie look, and for Lucy, at least, it was true. She had bright blue eyes that tilted just enough to give her that “different”
appearance, and her chin was narrow, coming almost to a point. The fact that she was tiny, both in stature, and in bone structure, made the pixie-illusion even stronger. She liked to wear dresses, as did I, but where I’d relax at home in a pair of worn blue jeans and a sweatshirt, she’d grab a cotton dress to pull over her head, and feel just as comfortable. It stemmed, I believed, from the fact that throwing a dress over her head and slipping on loafers took a lot less concentration than dealing with the zippers, buttons, and shoelaces.MoreLess
