š„ + the late Ms Jamie, if that's okay? :3
Send me š„ + the name or role of another person in my museās life, and Iāll write a description of my muse from that personās point of view.
āShe was just elbows and knees when I met her. Big, blue eyes, more freckles than stars in the sky and a desperate need to please. She came by when her family moved in holding a tray of cookies and this nervous smile on her face. When I invited her in, she acted like her drawing breath was imposing on me.Ā
So I sat her down, and I showed her old pictures of me and my late husband. Oh, how her eyes lit up when she saw my old wardrobe, like she had been born in the wrong era. What a darling little thing.ā
She paused, love in her dark eyes.
āShe would come by every day, eager to hear my old stories. She would help me around the house, doing chores and whatnot, and...she refused to take any money for it. It was like she was escaping something.Ā
A lot of people would assume that Iād be wary of her. A well off white girl cleaning my home... but no. There is something pure and gentle about that girl. She had plenty of opportunities to rob my old self blind, but she never as much put anything back an inch out of place. What a good girl, she is.
One day, she came by, and that shock of red hair had been colored black...I asked her why she would do such a thing, but she would not answer. One look at her mother told me everything.āĀ
Ms. Jamie paused and sighed.
āThen, I got sick. The fear in those big baby blues couldnāt escape me. No, she was no good at hiding how bad it hurt. And I told her...baby girl, you can do anything, you donāt need me anymore... but she just cried and cried. She would skip family events to be by my side. The nurses grew to adore this tiny thing. She had nothing to gain from it, either.
How was she to know I had left her nearly everything? She was just a teenager. Lord, if I had known what she was going to go through, if I had lived just a few years more...ā
Regret crossed her face.Ā
āShe is so brave. I believe that if she can survive this part of her life, she can do anything. She is smart, sweet, and she is a survivor. It takes so much to be kind in this world. If I could tell her how I proud I am, I would. If I could hug her and fix the collar of her dress one more time, I would give up...everything.āĀ
