Of all the people she might become, Cora thinks that a Good Christian Girl isn’t the worst choice. She imagines going on church trips to pumpkin patches and praying around an apple tree, baking little cupcakes for coffee hour, going to choir practice on Thursday nights, meeting a Good Christian Boy who will marry her and say things about “honoring thy wife,” but the pandemic threw a wrench in those plans. Cora would take that life in a heartbeat, if God could hear her.
Ive been jealous of the ones who get to live this life with no doubts or qualms. Ive always been jealous of those who believe- it must be such a peace of mind to believe someone all powerful was looking out for and loves you
