If You Want Me
“But like every morning since her return to Chicago, that hope quickly dwindled. Why a little flame of hope continued to burn in her heart, Alice didn’t know, and she wished there was a way to snuff it out.
Not caring would be so much easier. Her mother’s indifference and cold attitude wouldn’t hurt her if she simply didn’t care. During her thirteen years away from home, she’d thought she had stopped caring, but being home proved to her that she still did.
Bright and early, Alice prepared a brea...kfast of fresh fruit pieces for her mother and brought it to her in bed. Rosa didn’t even thank her. Instead she asked her once again if she’d called Sara. Apparently, Sara had called yesterday but, seeing the number on the Caller ID, Rosa had let the phone ring, so Sara had left a message. Rosa reiterated to Alice that like the first time Sara had called, she didn’t appreciate Sara’s interference in her private business. She wanted Alice to put a stop to it.
