Lost and Found

Spark

Raven's P.O.V.

I listened to my mom explain about Emily's progress. I just didn't want this to be like the other days; where she has one good day and the next day she can barely take three steps. So I ask the one question that can solve this Day 2 Disaster,

"How long is her daughter gonna stay with her?"

I hear hesitation and I can tell it's crossed my mom's head too, "I'm not sure."

After a few seconds she begins again, "But I doubt she'll have any trouble tomorrow even if her daughter isn't there."

I know not to reply at times like this because I know my mom is telling herself this more than she's telling me.

I still can't stop thinking about that chick though. What was her name though?

"Hey mom, what was her name?"

"Jamie."

Jamie. That was her name. I was right. She is the one who spurred a spark in the lady who's flame was about to burn out.
