After a whole day of killing myself with my wife's computer issues - I'm gonna post a chapter -- and I love how pissed I think I got the lot of you :)
s*t*a*r*s/J*A*D*E*S
Abby and her mother, Darci walk into another store, hefting their bags as they walk. "I really don't ever remember us shopping like this before."
"We don't have stores like this in Maine, baby," says Darci. "You know when I was growing up I never had money to do this. Then, when I became a doctor, I had the money but never the places to go. Your dad hated going off to Boston for a few days."
"I didn't like to go because you insisted that we fly," says Abby. She pauses by a rack of shirts and lets her fingers touch the fabric. "I like this one."
"Buy it," says Darci off handedly.
"I can't just get whatever I want," says Abby.
"Why not?" asks Darci her hands going to her hips. "Listen, I didn't have much growing up, but I did have some. I want you to have what I didn't have."
"Ah, for the child to be more pampered than the parent. That's worked out really well so far, hasn't it?" mutters Abby.
"Ah, the drugs," whispers Darci. "Amy was pampered when she was a kid, she was a drug addict. Didn't know that, did you?"
Abby shakes her head. "No."
Darci takes in a long breath. "We should get something to eat, and talk, and you can ask questions? I don't know, Abby, I know that what I had with those four girls I'll never have again. I know that if I needed them, right now, they'd be here for me. You will want to build that with the rest of the girls, you'll want that and once you have that, you'll never want for anything again."
"Except this shirt," smiles Abby.
Darci laughs. "Except that shirt."
Abby sets it back down. "I think I'll let you get me that for my birthday or something," smiles Abby.
