Another Life Lesson – Michelle Campbell (1)

The girl who told her everything, all of her secrets. Norah felt tears burn hot down her cheeks as she recalled the last moments of Peggy’s life, lying in her bed full of pain and guilt over how much Amelia hadn’t deserved what she did to her. If only she could apologize.

If only she could take it all back. Norah shook her head and wiped her cheeks as the visions and the feelings of Peggy’s life faded. Her surroundings came back to her. The birds still chirped, the leaves still rustled, the sun still hit her cheeks. What the fuck was happening? There was no denying it that time.

She needed to talk to Celeste. 1kitap1.com/en Celeste CELESTE KNOCKED LIGHTLY ON THE door, her stomach clenched in anticipation. Arriving at Norah’s unannounced was either going to be a very good idea or a massively terrible one. She shifted the weight of the basket onto her right arm and knocked once more. The apartment door opened, and Celeste braced herself for a…surprisingly welcoming Norah? “What’s up?” asked Norah after an initial look of surprise, a sharp intake of breath, and what Celeste knew to be a look of forced indifference.

Okay, so not welcoming exactly, but certainly not the wrath she had been expecting. “Hi, mind if I come in for a minute?” Norah’s eyes fell on the basket Celeste held before stepping aside and waving her in. “I won’t stay long,” Celeste continued, filling the dead space between them as she walked through the door. “I know you don’t want to talk to me.” Norah bit at her lower lip and dropped her gaze.

Celeste waited for Norah to speak, but when she didn’t, she said, “I needed to tell you again how sorry I am, and I also thought it would be helpful if I could show you that I was telling the truth.” Celeste settled herself on the couch and scanned the room. Being in this apartment was as surreal to her as it was the first time she saw Norah in person. She’d seen this apartment so many times these last few years, but now she was there. It was a real space.

A deep crease formed along Norah’s brow. “What do you mean, show me?” “Well,” Celeste started, handing Norah the basket she brought. “I know that I am late on this, but I also know that on Sam’s anniversary, you watch The Goonies every year because it was his favorite movie.” Norah paused, opening the basket to look up at Celeste, a look of confusion on her face.

“And I know that you do that because you two spent years having Friday movie nights. At first, it was in homemade sheet tents in Sam’s bedroom, which turned into giant pillow beds on Sam’s bedroom floor, which then moved to dorm rooms and your shared apartment on Greystone Avenue.”

For finding me in this life, and for teaching me far more Life Lessons than I could ever teach either of you. 1kitap1.com/en CHAPTER 1 Celeste A REQUEST TO INTERACT WITH THEM was not a common one. Few have done it throughout history, of course. Special circumstances only. Still, she knew asking was a long shot. Celeste was nothing if not an optimist, so she had to at least try.
