"Calm and Storm"
True to her quiet, thoughtful nature, Katie had been conceived on holiday, in a romantic refresh of love, with finches trilling outside the window. Billie, by contrast, was the product of an inspired, impassioned fantasy, with temperament to match. Tireless and anxious in the womb, she'd popped two weeks early, in the ambulance halfway to hospital. Colicky, fussy, and a howling insomniac, she was the storm after Katie's calm.
But, her daughters weren't always so different. As Sally discovered one evening, when, investigating the house's queer quiet, she found them cuddled sweetly in their pillow fort, calm and storm together.
