Summary: Sometimes ghosts and memories are the same thing.
Author's Notes: Just exploring the point of view of an original character from a previous story.


Sarah has a picture of her father hidden under her desk.

Maria finds it one day while cleaning, preparing for her daughter's departure to college and the unknown. It is a nice picture, in a nice frame. Andy is smiling in it, and his honey-colored eyes are shining. It makes her heart ache, and Maria has to grit her teeth and turn away from it, because the urge to burn his picture almost overwhelms her.

"Will I ever be free from you?" she whispers, and tries to remember a time when loving him had come as easily as her guilt.
