Take This Regret
“Stil wearing my pants and dress shirt, I tugged the sheet and blanket over my body, and hugged a pil ow to my chest. I refused myself the fantasies flickering on the outskirts of my consciousness and forced myself to rest satisfied in Elizabeth’s peace.

Every few minutes I went to stand beside my daughter who waited... perched on her knees, peering out at the street. The blinds were drawn wide, opened in invitation. The glass was smudged and painted by Lizzie’s eager hands and dotted by her tiny nose. Christian had sent a text about twenty minutes before to let us know he’d landed and was on his way. My heart palpitated, raced in anticipation, sped in fear. Christian told me he loved me. My chest constricted as his words flowed through me again with their tenor, their depth. His declaration had nearly undone me, had almost unraveled the knot I held so tightly twined around my broken heart.MoreLess
