Tessa. 100 words. Episode 1x03. Not my characters.
Tessa still has a tiny pair of pink booties tucked away at the back of her closet. She had only just begun to collect things for the baby when she lost her. It was months before Tessa could bring herself to give everything away, but when she tried to put the booties in the box she had frozen. She bought them the day she learned the baby was a girl and giving them away felt like a betrayal.
She thinks of Elizabeth sometimes; imagines what she would look like, how old she would be.
The pain never really goes away.
