AURORAI woke up the next morning feeling better than I had in days. Not completely better, my back still had a dull ache that reminded me I wasn't fully healed, but the sharp pain was gone. The leg pain too. I could walk without wincing, which felt like a victory.I got dressed slowly, careful not to move too fast, and climbed the stairs to the restaurant.The Bayers weren't around when I got there. The kitchen was quiet, the back door locked, the office dark. I found a note on the counter written in Mrs. Bayer's handwriting when I went to take my apron.‘Gone to the wholesaler. Be back before lunch. Everything is prepped, just need to set up. — E’I folded the note and tucked it into my apron pocket.Maria and Sophie arrived a few minutes later, both of them looking nervous and eager. Maria's hair was in that same tight

AURORA I felt better the next morning when I woke up.Although not completely. My back still ached and my legs were still weak and sore, every time I moved too fast I felt a twinge in my stomach. But better. Enough to get out of bed, shower, dress, and climb the stairs to the restaurant.That even hurt more.The dining room was quiet when I got there. The chairs were still up on the tables and the lights were still dim. I walked to the counter and started the coffee machine. I was reaching for a cup when I heard voices in the kitchen."...the front of course, and we'll rotate the weekends..."I recognized Mrs. Bayer's voice but the other two were unfamiliar. Unmistakably ounger and female.I walked to the kitchen door and peered inside. Two girls stood with Mrs. Bayer near the stove. One was tall and thin with dark hair pulled into a very tight and painful ponytail. The other was a bit shorter, curvier, with bright red hair and a face full of freckles. They were both wearing aprons,

AURORA The discharge papers took forever.I sat on the edge of the hospital bed, my legs dangling, my back still sore, watching the nurse explain things I couldn't focus on. She talked about medications and rest and follow-up appointments and I nodded along but my mind was somewhere else, somewhere in the restaurant where I had fallen, somewhere in the basement where I would have to sleep tonight."Ms. Vale?"I blinked. "Sorry.""I said you need to take it easy for at least a week. No heavy lifting, no standing for long periods, no rushing into dangerous situations." She smiled a little. "The doctor was very specific about that last one.""Right.""Your prescriptions are ready at the pharmacy downstairs. Someone can pick them up for you.""I'll get them.""You need someone to help you home.""I'll manage."She looked at me like she didn't believe me, but she didn't argue. She just handed me the discharge papers and told me to sign.I signed with shaky hands. At this point I planned t

AURORA THE hospital lights were too bright.I blinked and blinked but the whiteness didn't go away, just stayed there burning into my eyes while I tried to remember where I was. The ceiling was white and the walls were white and there was a machine beeping somewhere nearby, steady and constant."Ms. Vale?"I turned my head. Dr. Ellis stood at the foot of my bed, her head tilted, her expression caught somewhere between concern and confusion."You're back," she said. "I just saw you this morning.""I–" I tried to speak but my throat was dry. "I fell.""Fell?"Dr. Ellis walked closer and pulled up a chair. "The ambulance nurse gave me the report. Sharp pain in both legs, no bleeding, you were conscious the whole time. They induced you in the ER because the pain was too severe.""Induced?""To stop the contractions. The pain you felt was your body trying to go into early labor. We gave you medication to stop it."I stared at her. "Early labor?""Your baby is fine, Ms. Vale. She's safe. T

AURORA The lunch rush was always the worst, too many people crammed into too little space with the contractors still moving through the restaurant like they owned the place, and I had just cleared a table near the window when I heard raised voices.Customers yelling over eachother."You touched me!""I didn't touch you, you bumped into me.""I didn't bump into you, you pushed me."I turned around to see a man and a woman, middle-aged, standing near the counter where I had just set down a tray of dirty dishes. The man was tall and broad-shouldered with a face already turning red, and the woman was smaller with her arms crossed and her chin lifted like she was ready for a fight."I'm not going to stand here and be accused of something I didn't do," the man said."Then maybe you should watch where you're going," the woman shot back."I was standing still. You walked into me.""Are you calling me a liar?""I'm calling you clumsy."The woman stepped forward and the man stepped forward too

AURORA I stood up after a moment of rest to make sure the workers here to fix the basement and some part of the diner and the customers don't run into each other . They were everywhere. Two men carried supplies through the dining room, their boots leaving marks on the floor as they matched down to the corner where the basement door was, the customer moving out of the way fast enough not to get hit.I squeezed past them to get behind the counter. A ladder was leaning against the wall where some of the customers usually sat."Excuse me," I said, stepping around a bucket.The man on the ladder barely moved. He just grunted and kept working.I grabbed my apron and tied it around my waist. The dining room was a mess. Chairs were pushed aside, tables covered in drop cloths. A drill going off everywhere in the back. This was ruining the business in a way. I was sure the customers were dissatisfied with the noise and the back and forth, I'd be if I was in their shoes. This with babies had

The church was full of white flowers, roses stacked on every pew with their petals scattered across the aisle like snow. I stood at the entrance in a dress that trailed six feet behind me, lace and silk and some sort of stones that caught the light every time I moved. My mother adjusted my veil and

AURORA I walked slowly back toward the motel, my flats scuffing against the sidewalk.The sun was beginning to set and there was no better time to save money than now.Imagine what it would feel like to get that call. A paycheck every two weeks, a desk with my name on it, a reason to get up in the

AURORA The next morning I put on the same black slacks and the same white button-down as I had nothing else as appropriate as it, besides I wasn't going to the same company.The first interview was at a small marketing firm called Crest Communications, which I found tucked at the back of a largely
