Chapter 9 - The Birthday PartyGrace turned nine.
We held her birthday in the backyard.
There were balloons.
Cake.
Music.
Her new classmates.
My parents.
Sarah.
Jessica.
And Lauren.
Lauren stood at the edge of the yard.
She looked nervous.
Grace walked over.
“Aunt Lauren?”
Lauren smiled.
“Hi.”
“Do you want cake?”
Lauren laughed.
“Yes.”
Grace handed her a plate.
“Mommy says everyone gets one piece.”
Lauren nodded.
“Your mother is right.”
Grace smiled.
Then she ran away.
Lauren looked at me.
“I don't deserve that.”
“Maybe not.”
She nodded.
“But I'm grateful.”
I smiled.
“That's enough.”
My mother came over.
She hugged me.
“I never thought we'd get here.”
“Neither did I.”
She looked at Grace.
“She saved us.”
I shook my head.
“No.”
