An excerpt
I stormed out the back, letting the screen door slam behind me. The
infinite darkness above did nothing to lift the suffocating blanket of my life.
I picked up the recycling bin and lugged it down to the curb, trying to control
the emotions taking over. As I bent to drop the bin, my hands wouldn't let go.
I'd clung so hard to the edge, my muscles went stiff. I dropped to my knees and
bowed my head between my arms, matching my breaths to the pulsing rhythm of the
crickets' chirping, hoping to fend off the tears.
"Lucky?"
I squeaked and twisted so fast, I fell back on my butt.
"Liam?" I glanced at my house to make sure Mom wasn't watching.
Liam followed my gaze and stayed between his house and Mrs.
Robertson's, keeping out of Mom's view. He was holding a recycling bin filled
with flattened boxes.
From the light of both porches, I could see the concern on his
face.
Does he
really like me?
He put down the bin and moved into the shadows of Mrs. Robertson's
porch, waving me over. I looked toward my house again and got up, wiping off my
backside. The closer I got to him, the lighter the oppressive veil felt. I stopped
at arm's length, not trusting myself to step any closer.
"Praying over the recycling, were you?" he asked.
A bitter laugh came out before I could stop it. I cleared my
throat. "Something like that," I whispered.
His eyes shot over to my house and then back to me. "Your
mum?"
I nodded, unable to stop staring into his eyes. Before I realized
what I was doing, I'd told him about Sujata, Mom's edict about marriage or med
school, and Premlata Aunty's 'offer.' At the mention of Tejas, Liam cracked his
neck and dipped his head, his hands hanging loosely on his hips. Great, now I'm making him uncomfortable.
As an unabashed lover of all things happily ever after, Shaila's younger self would finish reading Cinderella and fling her copy across the room because it didn't mention what happened next. Now she writes from her home in the Carolinas and dreams up all sorts of stories with epilogues.
