What's Left Behind
“If Abby lived to eighty-six, she’d have another seventeen thousand four hundred and forty-one days left to throw her arms wide, take risks, and embrace her big beautiful life. Anything less would be a sin against all she’d lost.
Anything less would be a sin against Luke.
Abby sat outside her mother’s cottage, keys in the ignition, the truck vibrating beneath her thighs. Her cell phone trembled in her hands. She’d wanted to make a clean sweep of her mother’s cottage, pack away the aquamarine and... mermaids in satin-lined boxes, fix them with padlocks, toss the keys into the Atlantic, and watch the tides ferry them down shore. Instead, she’d left Lily Beth on the couch, traded her wine for water, tucked the throw around her, and kissed her on the cheek. Her mother was still beautiful. Her hair just as blond as when she’d been a girl, her skin clear and flawless, as though she were Sleeping Beauty, forever frozen in time, having fallen into a spell on the night of her sixteenth birthday.MoreLess
