and I have a BeautyStarz account.
I’ve been following Lyric
ever since you two
had your little meet-cute at the tree,
Mom says.
She has some really great tips
especially for us melanated folks.
I love her content.
Jamison said the same thing about our chemistry,
I mumble.
Something about the way
I make her giddy and nervous.
Oh, I heard.
And I agree
You love each other.
Mom nods emphatically.
Look, I don’t know what happened
between you and Lyric on Christmas morning
but the way she came back
from your walk
and rushed out of our house
as if she’d been banished
was not the action of someone who
“doesn’t care.”
From the hurt on her face
I know she deeply cared.
Mom barrels on.
So, whatever it was, fix it, Junie.
Apologize, and if you’re lucky
she might give you another chance.
