"She talked about you like
You put the stars in the sky"
After two hours of fun and the lingering thought of how Lace would survive school today,Lace started to get ready. She decides to dress for Bee so she shuffles in the closet, looking for something that Bee would wear. Lace finds a pair of loose shorts with an art graphic tee. She stomps downstairs and stops at the entrance,picking up Bee's glasses. Walking to the dinner table Lace hears Daliah gasp
"What?"She signed.
"I have the best accessories for your outfit!"Daliah gushes running to her room. After a couple of minutes she enters with a black lace choker in hand.
"What do you think?" Daliah gets a nod from Lace and ties it around her neck.
"Can I get tea?" Lace asks as Daliah stares at her with a weird look. Lace usually hated tea but Bee drank it.
"I hate tea Bee. It stinks like butt and has no taste" Lace chuckles out.
"I swear the day I die my ghost will haunt you forever for saying that."Bee stares at Lace with a goofy face.
The strong smell of lavender tea snapped Lace out of her trance. Daliah was finished with her tea and put it on the counter of the kitchen.
"Thanks maman" Lace's rings clack as she wraps her fingers around the mug.
"I'm sorry,this is for you Bee."Lace sighs and drinks the tea making a bitter face.
"You should put your hair up fully" Daliah suggests, Lace shakes her head.
"Why not?"Daliah raises her eyebrows.
"It doesn't flow with the outfit." Lace signs, Daliah rolls her eyes and hands Lace two rubber bands.
"If you want to do it, here you go." Daliah then sets her eyes on Lace's yellow converses on the floor.
"Are we planning to go barefoot?"Lace looks at her mom like she grew a second head. The bus could be heard meaning that Lace had six minutes. She slips on her converses as Daliah hands her a box of merengues.
"For your boyfriend and Bee." Lace's head snaps up and she grabs the box with tears streaming down her face, she runs out the door leaving Daliah wondering what happened?
