Summary
The coffin was practically scentless. Lack of lavender reaching her nose, she could have believed it was an empty case. Approaching the black and gold, she ran her hand against smooth wood with reverence.
Her body knew before her mind. Lump building in her throat, her heartbeat echoed in her eardrums, body shaking above wobbly knees.
Fiery hair sat neatly within. Wavy and thin, it cupped the sunken face of her older sister. A waxy shine coated her skin. Deep hues of purple overtook her natural undertones, and her veins were prominent, peaking out of her white collar.
Her face was almost unrecognisable. If Jay hadn’t studied it while she was sleeping, hadn’t taken in every expression, trying to read every thought that crossed her mind. If she hadn’t watched every reaction Ava tried to hide, then maybe, maybe she could have played it off as someone else.
A hundred and twenty three days, five hours, thirty-two minutes. Jay’s world came crashing down with one letter.
