Liam's Secret
“You should get dressed today, Eileen,” Lizzie said to her older sister, gently touching her shoulder. Eileen let out a sigh as she set her teacup down on the table. She knew Lizzie was trying, but nothing was going to make things any better. She really just wanted to be alone. She missed Liam terribly. She missed the way he added just the right amount of cream to her tea every morning. She missed his hugs. She missed how he would leave his work boots on the floor by the door every night after work. Lizzie had put them in the closet while tidying up for Eileen, but Eileen pulled them back out and set them down by the door. She wasn’t ready to put Liam’s things away yet.
