Prologue: Be Home Soon
She rushed around her room grabbing anything and everything in sight, shoving it all into the bag in her hand and the suitcase lying open on her bed.
"I really don't have time to make sure I have what I need. I guess I can always have mom send the rest to me once I get settled. Crap! Where did my other shoe get off too?"
Moving as quickly as humanly possible, she searched her room for the missing shoe, not paying any attention to how much noise she was making or even noticing the person standing in her doorway observing her with a somber expression.
"You know dear, the shipping costs are going to be outrageous to get the rest of your things to you."
Turning rigid, the girl abandoned her quest for the missing footwear and turned towards her door.
"Mom . . . look I can explain . . . it's not what it looks like really. . . I was just. . ."
"You were just going to leave without saying goodbye," sighing the woman stepped towards her daughter, pulling her down onto the bed beside her.
"There's no need to explain, I know what this is about or to be more accurate, who this is about. And to be honest I can't help but feel this is mostly my fault."
"No mom, it's really not. It's just . . ."
"Now don't interrupt me. I'm not here to stop you. You're a big girl and you can make your own decisions, but you're still my daughter and I'm not just going to let you go without knowing where. So here, take this," she said as she placed the airplane ticket into her daughter's hand.
"And take this; it's one of my contacts there. They are already expecting you, and I won't hear any ifs, ands, or buts about it. I'm not going to let you go unprepared. This way you'll have a secure job and place to stay when you get there."
Feeling the tears rush forward in her eyes, she blinked several times to keep them at bay.
"Thanks mom, I don't know what to say. . ."
"Just say you'll be home soon, okay?"
Knowing the next words she said would be a complete lie, she still let them pass from her lips.
"Of course mom, I'll be back before you know it."
