Unforgettable

Helena's Story

Some journeys are memorable…

Few are unforgettable

Gabe

I should have stayed away from her. I knew better.

But instead, I treated every day like it was my damn birthday,

and she was a luscious devil’s food cake slathered in creamy icing.

Helena

I spent my entire life being cautious, never took any real risks.

I did it to shield the people I loved from needless worry.

To protect them.

I’m the sensible sister.

He didn’t want children.

She couldn’t imagine a life without them—

especially now.

There are few occasions in one’s life where the body warns of impending doom.

This was one of them.
