I smiled with them, Lydia wrote, she imagined a big smile appearing on Barbara's face. I cried with them, she remembered crying in the netherworld. I died with them, she remembered her mother's death. I loved with them, remembering giving the Maitlands hugs. I lived with them, she remembered letting the Maitlands & Delia stay. I fought with them, she remembered killing Betelgeuse. They may be fictional to you, but they are as real as daylight to me. Lydia finished, signing the letter & sticking it on her wall. Everyday, someone would walk in to Lydia's room and see the paper, they would think, wow, maybe.
