S31 37. Feeling Lost

The sheets on the twins’ bed looked quite neat even though they were a little wrinkled in the middle. Diana suspected that the twins’ tiny hands were trying to smooth it over.

“Why do I only realize now that they are so cute? Why is it so late?”

Diana stepped inside, hoping that her longing would fade. Unfortunately, the hole in her chest only got bigger. No matter how much air she sucked in, she couldn’t get rid of the shortness of breath.

“I should have visited here while they were still around.”

With teary eyes, Diana scanned the room. She could imagine how cheerful the twins were staying there. They might like dancing in front of the mirror or jumping up and down on the bed.

As the corners of Diana’s lips began to lift, her eyes fell on a piece of paper under the pillow. “What’s that?”

Diana lifted the pillow. A pen immediately rolled across the paper. The letters on it were rather large and slightly wavy. However, Diana could still read it.

“Louis and Emily’s holiday wish list.

The old woman squinted. Her head moved back. The following b had been marked with a cross.

“Playing with horses and Grandma Diana. Doing a role play for Grandma Diana. Reading fairy tales before bed with Grandma Diana.”

The more Diana read, the heavier her heart became. When she arrived at the last row, her eyes were wet. That was the only one the twins hadn’t dropped.
