The Blossoming Universe of Violet Diamond (2014)
“I asked my mom as I searched through the clothes in my closet. Tomorrow morning, we were leaving for Seattle.
She was sitting on my bed, wearing blue doctor scrubs and a worried look. “It’s up to you, V.”
My hand landed on a lavender and purple striped dress and I pulled it out. It was pretty and girly but not too fancy. “Perfect?” I asked.
“Perfect,” she said, but tears were in her eyes.
Sometimes a person needs another person to hold their hand, at least that’s what Gam says. ...And I could tell by the look in my mom’s eyes that she needed hers held—now.
I snuggled beside her on the bed and took her hand. “We don’t have to go if it makes you sad. I mean, it really doesn’t matter that much to me,” I told her, but it wasn’t the truth. More than anything, I wanted to go.
But if you say no, I will give you the silent treatment for months.MoreLess
