What a lovely story, @itsostylish. I'm so glad you stumbled upon it and decided to share it in The Ink Well! Your portrayal of Sara is absolutely delightful. And the way in which her daughter learns of her misdeeds is truly inspired! I enjoyed the story through and through, and was so relieved when you finally solved the mystery of what it was Sara coveted so much. I was living in dread that it wouldn't be revealed! Whew. It made me smile. What a clever old woman.
This line was so incredible to me — saying so much with so little:
It was a day of the type that made ordinary people understand other people's suicides.
Wow.
