Excerpt
We walk into the house and I watch her face,
hoping, praying, for a reaction. Some memory that will provide an answer
we need.

Her mouth curves downward. “It’s just like
walking into the home of your favorite childhood friend as an adult. Familiar,
but meaningless. Why the hell did I ever think seeing it might heal a brain
tumor? I was expecting miracles.”

I return and find my hands wrapping around her
arms, forcing her to meet my eye. “Who says it would have to be a miracle?” I
ask. “We can’t explain anything that’s happening. But there was a time
when people couldn’t explain the change in seasons, or sunlight, or gravity. It
doesn’t mean there wasn’t an explanation. It just meant it hadn’t been
discovered. Why should this be any different?”

She looks away, pressing her lips together.
“But the tumor—you don’t actually believe we can stop it.”
“But the tumor—you don’t actually believe we can stop it.”
I tip her chin up, feeling a little desperate.
She can’t start losing hope now. I need her to keep fighting until we find a
solution. “Do I think it’s unlikely this can fix the tumor? Yeah. But your tumor
is also unlike anything I’ve ever seen. And how could I say it was impossible
anyway? Every day, you and I are witnessing the impossible. We’re having the
same dreams, for God’s sake. You know things you couldn’t possibly know, and
from the moment I met you, it felt like you were…”

“It felt like I was what?”
“Mine,” I reply.
The awkwardness of that word washes over us
both. I’ve never called anyone mine in my life, and she is with someone
else. But I also know what I said was right. She is meant to be mine, and
somehow today I need to convince her of that.

Author Bio
Elizabeth
O'Roark lives in Washington DC with her three children—Jack, Lily and
Patrick—and attempts to write when not driving a child to sports or answering
questions about the next meal and the whereabouts of batteries/phone
chargers/Halloween candy. A former medical writer, she has bachelor’s degrees
in journalism and psychology from the University of Texas, and a master’s in
counseling psychology from the University of Notre Dame. She really hasn’t used
any of her degrees, and wishes she’d invested all that tuition in Apple stock
instead.
