The All You Can Dream Buffet (2014)
“She’d slept the hectic, overheated, restless sleep of the brokenhearted, waking too often to think of Liam in a tuxedo, saying vows, thinking of him with his arms around someone else. Lavender’s words haunted her: Maybe he fell in love with the other woman on sight, too.
But how did you fall out of love so fast? How did you do it at all? That was the thing she couldn’t figure out.
She needed to tell him about the baby. Instead of going to email, she went to Google Maps and clicked on her saved ...searches. The map zoomed to Seattle and then to the neighborhood. She zoomed and zoomed and, when she got close enough, she clicked on the little yellow man to go to street view.
And there was her mother’s house. Electrifyingly, the photo had changed. The lilacs around the yard were blooming, clearly, and there, in the backyard, was the family: Mom, Dad, three children, and a dog in the grass. It made her think of a dollhouse family, so tidy and balanced.
Stupid ritual, this one. She was hardly ready to be anyone’s mother if she was still such a child herself.MoreLess
