cambridge, massachusetts.
𝐈𝐓 𝐖𝐀𝐒 𝐀𝐍 𝐎𝐃𝐃 𝐒𝐈𝐆𝐇𝐓 to see an eleven-year-old girl sitting alone on a bus going to a different state, but nobody seemed to question it. She wasn't causing anybody harm. In fact, she was one of the calmest people in the vehicle. She was staring down at a photo that she had taken on her phone of a page of a book that was given to her and her brother by their favorite teacher.
It looked to be a man and a woman hugging in an abandoned cabin. The woman was wearing an off-the-shoulder purple dress and was being lifted off the ground by the man who donned a white suit that brought out his blue eyes.
They were both hopelessly and utterly in love with each other.
"Cambridge bus station!"
The young girl looked up from her phone when she heard the driver shout and put the device away as she made her way off the bus. She found herself a taxi and, after assuring the driver that she would be paying for the ride, she gave him her destination. As the car came to a complete stop, she glanced up at the apartment building before letting out a breath and making her way inside.
Standing in front of a door numbered 'seven', she knocked against the wood and waited with bated breath. A young woman with shoulder-length dark brown hair opened the door and furrowed her brows when nobody met her eye level. She looked down and locked eyes with the girl.
"Um—can I help you?" she asked her, looking down the hallway in search of the girl's guardian. "Are you lost?"
"Are..." The girl cleared her throat. "Are you Victoria Hunter?" she asked in response and the woman looked at her apprehensively. "Victoria Elizabeth Hunter?"
The woman paused and chuckled nervously. "How do you know my full name?"
"I think I'm your daughter," the girl blurted out making Victoria freeze in the doorway. "My name is Hannah Mills. And, eleven years ago, I was adopted a few days before my brother right after I was born. And I think you're the one who gave me away."
Victoria sucked in a breath and stepped to the side. "You better come inside." Hannah nodded and made her way further into the apartment, looking around at the sparsely decorated space. Except for a few pieces of wall art, the rooms were empty. "Do your parents know you're here?" Victoria asked, closing the door and turning to fully look at the girl.
Hannah shook her head as she sat down on the rather uncomfortable couch. "It's just my mom," she answered, playing with her fingers from nervousness. "And no, she doesn't. My brother is in Boston right now. We split up once we hit the Massachusetts border."
