Prologue: Show Me Happiness
Sunnydale, California, 2007 (Buffy is 27); Prologue in Buffy's POV
Did I ever know how it felt to be happy I wonder. Maybe I did, but I'm not sure.
There were some precious moments I felt happy with Angel, but it's so long gone
that it doesn't even feel real anymore.
I felt happy when Ashlynn was born. My little girl. My wonderful little daughter.
I don't even know why I'm thinking this today. This day is not different from all the others. I woke up beside my husband, yes I do have a husband, who would've thought. It's not Riley. His name is Brent and when we got married I was sure I loved him. I still think I do, but was I ever happy?
Again those thoughts. They don't lead anywhere.
Brent left the house to go to his office, he's a lawyer and earns enough money
for a comfortable life in Sunnydale in a nice house with a white picket fence.
Mom loves my house. But do I?
Am I living her dream or mine?
I dropped my daughter off at school as I do it each morning, she waved goodbye
and her sweet little smile is wonderful. Every time I see her smile I feel tears
in my eyes.
When I came home I found Cordelia's letter and within seconds my whole life
changed.
End of the Prologue
