Four things. She had four things. That meant something. Rachel knew it did. She just wished it would stay in her mind instead of going away. It would leave again. She knew it would. This was her new normal, and nothing was going to change that. She was trying, but was getting so tired.
Rachel wasn’t sure about dancing with Lily. She wanted to, like holding her, but didn’t think it was a good idea. It was one thing to stay still, but another to be moving. Thankfully she was saved the decision by the approach of a young woman. Rachel had noticed her come down, but she had sat by herself and was watching. It appeared that she had been listening though. She asked about Christmas.
Rachel was silent for a little bit, but summoned her courage to speak to her. ”Christmas is a holiday in December. There is food, presents, and decorations. It started as a religious holiday - Christians celebrating the birth of Jesus, but other people celebrate too. Lots of people have their own traditions.” Rachel hadn’t spoken down to the woman, offering the best explanation she could think of. Hopefully Liam could add more. She wasn’t very good at such things.
