“Mrs. Carson?” Melissa nodded, her skin turning paler by the second. “Yes, that’s me. How is she, Doctor?” “She…I’m afraid that her eyes are gone.” “Gone?” I said. “What do you mean gone?” “I’m afraid they have been removed.” Removed? How? Melissa’s body began to shake. “She’s…she’s blind?” The doctor nodded. “But she’s alive?” Melissa added. “Yes.” Melissa breathed, her chest heaving up and down rapidly. “But she can’t see?” He shook his head. “No. And I’m afraid we believe she has also been raped.”

“A snowplow parent will “plow” down any person or obstacle standing in their child’s way. They were constantly paving the way for their children, removing every obstacle or disappointment that might appear, enabling them never to make responsible decisions or take responsibility for their actions.”

“Iris wrapped Oliver in a blanket and walked outside to put him inside his carriage. The sun shone brightly in his face, and she made sure to turn the carriage around, so he wasn’t in the direct sun, then pull down the mosquito net. She looked at her son in the carriage and felt her heart melt as their eyes met. He looked so much like his dad already, and that often made her laugh. He was like this miniature version of Gary, a wrinkled and prune-like version of him. But he was also so incredibly gorgeous that her heart could hardly contain it. And neither could Gary. She saw it in his eyes when he came home from work and picked up the boy. She saw the deep pride in them. But she also saw something else lately that had startled her a little.”

“Matt peeked inside, holding a bottle of wine in his hand. I smiled when I saw him. I could hear the children rummaging around upstairs, and Alex yelled something at one of his sisters. It was Olivia who yelled back and then slammed her door. She was now fifteen and had no patience for her six-year-old brother, or her twelve-year-old sister, Christine. Or for me, for that matter.”

“I turned off the TV and threw the remote on the couch. It was on as I came home from my visit to Rhonda’s, file still under my arm, and no one was watching. Before I turned it off, I paused to hear if they had any news in the case of the disappearance of the three teenage girls who went missing after prom night two weeks ago. It was all everyone talked about lately, and I had to say that the reporter on News13 was right; it remained a strange mystery. They had been gone for two entire weeks now, and still, there was no trace of the girls. The theories went from them being kidnapped to them having planned this themselves to escape the pressure of senior year and exams. The last part was way too far out for my taste, but that left us with the first option, and I really didn’t like that either. Matt had been on the case from the night they never came home, and their parents anxiously called CBPD to ask them to set up search teams.”

“We can’t control everything in life. There was nothing you could have done to prevent this from happening. You must forgive yourself.”

“We can get video of the birth of a star in outer space, but see if we can make a decent surveillance photo that isn’t grainy? It makes no sense.”
