Sonia

I had been down all day as I realized I just turned 20 today without my family there by me to celebrate me nor congratulate me. I just became a full woman and my mom isn't even here to share this big day with me.

I had turned another big page in my life with yet an even bigger page missing.

It's noon and I'm still wrapped up in myself when Gabby approaches me;

"Hey birthday girl, someone said to tell you to meet him at the second spot. "

I don't need anything to know the 'someone' is Desmond and the 'second spot' is his little cabin. I can't help but smile at myself as memories of when I met him there play back in my head.

"Hmmmm. Someone's blushing" Gabby coos in my ear drawing me back to earth and I stump her foot.

"No I'm not! " I reply

"Ouch!" She whines

"Okay, but you don't have to be a punchy princess about it! " she squeals and I can't help but roll my eyes.

"Now? " I question.

"What now? " she asks totally confused.

"Desmond?.. "I reply to remind her.
