Proof
“Streamers twisted like licorice looped from each corner of the space, crisscrossing in the middle. From the center of the intersection hung a paper stork with a baby wrapped in a fuchsia blanket clutched in its beak. A mountain of presents wrapped in pink, yellow, and green accessorized with all manner of straight and curly ribbons crowded the main worktable. Someone placed a paper plate with a piece of cake into Lilly’s hand.
“Today’s Sonya’s surprise baby shower.”
Immediately, Lilly’s heart s...ank. “I forgot her present.”
“It’s no problem. Bring it next shift.”
In truth, she hadn’t remembered at all. Sonya was beautiful, dressed casually in blue jean maternity pants and a pink cotton sweater. Her eyes moistened as she opened each gift, placing the clothes on her belly and jiggling side to side in happiness. Lilly felt ill, set her cake down, grabbed a chart, and left. Outside the door, she leaned against the wall, eyes clenched, trying to keep the tears at bay. It was obvious that she wasn’t good to anyone anymore.MoreLess
