Cool Black 14: What the Future Brings
Author: Kat
Title: What the Future Brings
Story: In the Heart
Colors: Cool black 14 (there's things that never will be right)
Supplies and Materials: Graffiti (Lilith Faire Village Stage: Better Things, Dar Williams), photography
Word Count: 170
Rating: PG
Summary: Joanna didn't expect how Olivia would make her feel.
Warning: none.
Joanna knew that having Olivia back would change Hugh. The weight of that loss, the sorrow he'd carried all the years Joanna has known him, disappeared. He was ten years younger, twenty years happier. She knew it would happen, and it made her so happy to see him so changed.
What she had not expected was the way Olivia made her feel. She, who had never and could never have children, now had a daughter, a sweet and loving girl who had been hurt so much by so many people. If Hugh had lost his sorrow, Olivia had not, not yet; grief still haunted her dark eyes. It made Joanna want to protect her, soothe her through the pain, hold her until the nightmares vanished into the past for good and her future lay pure ahead of her, easy and happy.
She wasn't really Olivia's mother, she knew that. But she thought maybe she could be, if Olivia wanted her to be.
Joanna so hoped Olivia wanted her to be.
