Sometimes
Sometimes she would just watch to make sure everything was okay. She would follow them in the shadows, watch them from a distance. It had been four whole years since she had walked out that door, never to come back. Sometimes she wondered what they must have thought of her. She desperately hoped they would not believe she didn't care about them. They were family, and she would do everything to protect them. Sometimes she would follow them though the city, simply to feel close to them. Sometimes Gary would turn around quickly, as if he had seen something. That made her smile. He had always been the more perceptive of the others. Sometimes she wished they would spot her. Sometimes she wanted to be seen. But she knew she couldn't.
Sometimes she would just watch from the shadows.
