Leah woke up smiling with Corbin's dream lips still on hers. It was Sunday. She wondered how Sophie had fared with Brian last night; the poor girl had been so nervous her knees were knocking together. Leah had no doubts that they were the perfect couple, unlike her opinions about Brandon and Skylar. Speaking of Sky, where was she? Leah sprang down the stairs in her satiny, too-long pajama pants and oversized T shirt. She was greeted by the smell of potatoes and eggs, all smothered in the drippy incense of delicious melted cheese. She hopped the last four steps, her bed head brown waves flopping messily against her check.
"Morning Mom!" She called cheerily. What a fantastic dream… Snap out of it, Lee, she scolded herself. It's not like wishing will make him jump out of the bushes. She felt for her ring, a slender rose gold band she never took off. Twirling it around her finger calmed her. But oh! Crap crap crap crap… how could I have lost it? The thing was, she couldn't have. It didn't rust, so she left it on for showers, and she always wore it during art class, and… Oh, no. No. Most definitely not. And yet, it played out in her mind…
She had dropped it on the corner of Hollows and River when she'd fallen!
As Leah dropped listlessly into an armchair, her guardian angels, what Firenze called her ancestors, were at work. They were at work, and so when Leah's wish did come true, it was unexpected but not well received. You could almost imagine her angels sitting back happily in whatever heaven they were in, blissfully full of themselves.
Now you probably know what happened, but let's recap anyways. It was a bell that started it, that started the nights out and the flowers and the walks, a bell-so tiny!-that unlocked Leah and unfroze him. The tinny, metallic sound rang out over Leah's head, and she got up to get it, unaware of her anticipating angels, who must've been having a field day.
"I'll get it," she called. As if anyone else would. Who could it be, this early on a Sunday?
