Lily had the windows rolled down, allowing the sickly sweet smell of
wildflowers to waft into her car. With the music turned down and
nothing but the open road for miles ahead, she relaxed against her seat.
Trees whipped past on both sides, leaves and grass peppered with the wide
array of flowers in full bloom.
After a long and trying winter, spring was finally here.
With a sigh, she turned the music down further and gripped the steering
wheel with both hands. On the passenger seat next to her was the box full of
letters her aunt Heather had written to her every year since her mother had
died, up until Liam’s birth.
There was an entire world in those pages, the secret having been within
Lily’s reach all along. She kept one hand on the steering wheel, the other
touching the top of the closed box, as if to assure herself it was still there.
Driving from New York to Falmouth had been Lily’s idea, giving her
four hours to adapt to the idea of leaving behind the only life she’d ever
known.
Taking the scenic route had seemed like a good decision at the time.
Now, she had no idea if she could bear to be alone with her thoughts for that
long. Not when she kept turning over everything she knew about her
mother, from the fact she’d abandoned Lily when she was barely a year old
to the fact she’d died tragically when Lily was only six. She could fit
everything she knew about her mother in one hand and had long since made
her peace with her ignorance.
Or so she’d thought.
Aunt Heather had proven that Lily only succeeded in pushing it down.
One particular letter came to mind, written after Liam was born. The
pages were now worn and crumpled around the edges, but Lily could recite
it from memory.
As she settled back against her seat and lowered the music, she smiled
to herself.
Dear Lily,
I can’t believe you’ve just had your first child. Your mother would’ve been
so proud of you. Kelly would’ve loved being a grandmother. She was so
warm and caring, and she had so much love to give.
I hope you know that.
I know you’ve never answered my letters, and a part of me thinks you
never will, but I still cling to the hope that it’s not too late. You do, after all,
have a whole family here that’s rooting for you, that’s celebrating your
successes as their own. We love you so very much, Lily.
And I can’t wait to meet my great-nephew.
You’re going to make an amazing mom.
With love,
Aunt Heather
Lily blinked back the tears and returned to the present with a jolt. She
maintained her viselike grip on the steering wheel, some of the knots in her
stomach unfurling.
For years, she’d believed every lie spoon-fed to her by her father and
stepmother, allowing their hate and biases to color her opinion of her
mother and her mother’s family. She’d even been told her mother’s family
wanted nothing to do with her.
