The Gift of Woe
It was a good sized chunk of money, there was no denying that. Not exactly massive inheritance sort of money, but certainly pay-off-my-student-loans money, extravagant European vacation money, perhaps even homeowner money, but buying a home seemed so far-off and boring when she hadn’t yet finished college or had an extravagant European vacation. The most exciting thing about the money was the name Mira Cardwell printed neatly in small, professional letters just after “Pay to the order of”. She handled the check carefully as if it might turn to sand with a single breath, allowing herself at last a small, tentative smile once it became clear that this was unlikely to happen. Seeing one’s own name written down by foreign hands on such a life-changing little piece of paper had an odd turn to it; a funny little twist in the stomach that tightened the heart and its moorings and drew everything together in a little ball of pleasant anxiety.
