It was a picture of a child, a red haired beauty with a beautiful smile. It must have been a Halloween photo. She was dressed as a fairy, in a little ...green satin dress with gossamer wings. At first I thought it was Moira until I looked a little closer. I looked to Moira for confirmation.She nodded."My daughter, Erin. She had just turned four when that was taken." Where is she now?" I was picturing a scenario of a vengeful ex husband stealing her away."Forest Lawn. That picture was taken about. But being a good wife, she agreed to honor Dan’s request. By the time she got back to town she was dry. I spent most of my time in my room, feeling down. I already missed that special time that I had been able to share with my mom. Now it was gone forever. They got back in town on a Tuesday, and Dan didn’t have a trip scheduled until the following Sunday night, so I didn’t have a chance to talk to my mom. My mom took Dan to the airport late Sunday afternoon, and when she got back home, she put. “I’ll take a rain-check for after finals.” I quickly exit Let’s Grind and start the short walk to my apartment. Really Aria, you can’t be having feelings for him, they’ll never be returned. And damn almost crying … it must be the sleep deprivation. I need a cold shower when I get home. Walking briskly I can’t help but think of the last time Simon cleaned up tears from my cheeks; I had walked in on by good for nothing boyfriend cheating on me. Simon has always been caring towards me in that way,. They move over to us and hug Kyle, then ask to be introduced to me. Kyle fumbles, a little nervous, but he introduces me and they each shake my hand. His mother whispers loudly to him, intending me to hear, “She’s beautiful Kyle. I’m impressed.” He blushes a little and starts to tell her she has the wrong idea, but I slide my arm around his waist and give him a squeeze. I like the idea of pretending we’re together. “It’s ok. I was hoping to meet your parents soon anyway. It’s so nice to meet.
