EVELYN
seven years of age
Mother’s dress smells like roses and peaches.
I inhale it because I miss her.
Sometimes, when he isn’t watching, I will sneak into her old room and go through her things under the bed.
He doesn’t like it when I do it and gets mad at me. Well, not mad... but he gets sad and silent, and I’m not sure what that means.
But at least he always tells me he is sorry when he gets upset.
He gave me one of his feathers today.
That made me very happy.
