Overview: It was that thing in her head; it took away her memories, and it was killing her. But Emily had blonde hair held in place with a sparkling barrette, clear green eyes, and a complexion that had not seen the sun for weeks, even months on end. She was fully formed and beautiful. She was dressed in white. Sometimes, many times, Emily felt useless and powerless, ugly and hopeless, despondent and afraid; but at other times, she felt so alive she could almost lift off the ground and walk on air. When Emily felt like that, she felt a deep joy; she felt beautiful. It was preferable to the darkness she often felt.
“Have you ever wondered why God made men and women so beautiful?” Patrick had once asked her.
“I’m not beautiful,” she had responded quietly, believing she was not.
Patrick did not often smile but he did then. “Beauty is a light in the heart,” he said.
She had not known how to respond and had, instead, wept. She had wept because the past is the past, forever irrecoverable.
