They don't talk about Becky's marriage.

Jennifer would like to, sometimes. She would like to call her mother up and say, "I'm worried about her," or even drive down to see Becky, sit across a table from her sister and ask if she's doing all right. But Becky married someone that Mama doesn't approve of—unlike Jennifer and her rich, gentle, distant, boring husband—and so they don't talk about Becky's marriage. They barely ever talk about Becky.

She writes sometimes. Christmas cards and the like. Becky never writes back.

Jennifer feels so helpless, but what can she possibly do?

You deserve, like, mini-seed beads for this one, wow.

This says so much, and it hurts.

Also, you didn't tag with seed beads, if you wanted to.
