My cousins’ faces glow as they talk and tease each other. I already feel forgotten. The feeling I had after Sabrina saved me from the bees, that there’s not enough love to go around, creeps in. This is what I’ve been missing out on for all these years, and instead of feeling a part of it now, I’m still an outsider looking in. Something deep in me screams with a wanting, the bad part that expects love without having been here to love back.
