I used to love shopping at the mall.
Getting my nails done, getting the fanciest clothes and the most expensive shoes. That was my life before.
Now, well... Now I was thankful to be eating a Big Mac and drinking Coca Cola. They don't serve nice, big meals with fries in jail and now that I had access to them, I was enjoying them to the fullest. But being in a place where everyone appeared to have their lives together was upsetting because for the time being, I had no clue what I would do with mine.
Evie took a sip of her drink while Nathan sat back, his jaw tense, Lily sitting on his lap. He wasn't happy to be there and though Evelyn had told him we'd be fine on our own, he insisted to come with us.
He didn't trust me, I realized.
I couldn't say I blamed him but I was too much of a coward to look at him. His gaze held accusation. Eventually, if Nathan and I were going to get along we would have a long, awkward conversation about everything that happened between us. I didn't look forward to it but with change came making amends.
A lovely 2-in-1 package.
"Aunt Hannah?"
Big, gray eyes looked up at me with curiosity, breaking the silence that surrounded us. Nathan relaxed when his daughter spoke up and Evie smiled tenderly.
I was nervous.
Somehow, I knew what she was going to ask and I dreaded it. There's things that are very difficult to explain to a child and the food court at a mall was definitely not the place where I wanted to tell Lily that I had been in prison.
When she grew up she would know, she'd also learn about the harm I caused her mother. She'd hate me eventually and I'd be left alone anyways and-
"Where were you all this time?"
There it is.
Nathan tensed once again, pressing his lips together.
"Remember what I told you?" Evie asked, completely unfazed. The mother role fit her perfectly. "That sometimes people make mistakes and do bad things?"
Lily nodded, her full attention on Evelyn.
"Well, sometimes people have to go away. Aunt Hannah did the same thing."
Interest peaked, the young girl raised an eyebrow. "Like jail?"
Nathan started coughing, surprised by his daughter's question. I smiled. She was a smart little thing.
