Take Me Back
“What does she want?” I clutch your shoulders, desperate. How could you know what Ingrid wants and I don’t? She and I have our connection. Have I not been paying close enough attention?
You reach back onto the bed and hand me the small box you brought. “It’s inside.”
My hands shake as I open the lid and set it aside.
Sitting in the bottom of the box is the small silver cup engraved with flowers that Maddie and I found in Ingrid’s trunk. I hook my finger through the handle and lift it... out. The tiny acorn with the smiling face seems to mock me. Why didn’t I realize she wanted this? It was the only item in the trunk that was left behind at the plantation.
