A Different Blue

by Amy Harmon

“The mystery of my life binds me still, Wilson. You told me once we can’t help where we are scattered. We are born in whatever circumstances we are born into, and none of us has any control over it. But I can make sure this baby isn’t scattered like I was.

Cute

“I keep wishing you had had a better life . . . a different life. But a different life would have made you a different Blue.”

He said the thing

“He told me not to worry. He said, ‘Women cry. If she’s crying over you, she still loves you.’” Wilson tried to mimic the shaky voice of the old man. He looked at me and grinned playfully. “He said I should only worry when you stop.”

Oh cute
