#181 - Describe your perfect day
The sun would be shining, of course. There would be just a light breeze off the coast, stinging the air with the tiniest hint of salt and sea, and the vines that had grown in through the cracks in the walls of the canyon house would be in bloom.
There would be tea and two women sitting around the dining room table eating cucumber sandwiches. They wouldn’t get along, these women, her adoptive mother so prim and proper while her real mother radiated like the sun, but that they were there - together - would be enough.
Rev and her father, her adoptive father, would be laughing outside, washing her Thunderbird, her beautiful, vintage car, which would be parked in the driveway as pristine as it ever was, planning another family camping trip to the desert like they did when she was younger.
There wouldn’t be a camera in sight and all of Rev’s sins would be forgiven. Forgotten. There wouldn’t be any questionable activities, or vices, or even Pop. There wouldn’t be any emptiness and the desire to fill herself up with the closest thing to feeling alive.
There would be her soul, back where it should be, almost as if she’d never lost it.
Rev would be whole.
