“I’ll be honest, Etta. The last few days have
been hard for me. I think I’m just sick of all this rain. Sometimes
storms… they get inside. We all need the sun.”
My heart aches. I would do anything I could to keep the storms
away from Mom. I would learn to fly with no superpowers. I would
stop the train from making fireworks. I will do everything I can.
Tomorrow.
I put my hand on hers. “Don’t be afraid. Everything will be okay.”
Mom squeezes my hand. “I don’t want any choice you ever make
to be governed by fear either. But I’ll admit, I’m pretty nervous.”
“We both are,” says Dad.
I want to say, Me too, but I stay quiet.
“But you deserve more than that,” Mom says. “You deserve more
than fear.”
