Getting to Know You Again (Bonnie-Maya | G | 1,260 words): Bonnie and Maya reconnect as adults. This is a lovely vignette featuring these two and the bond between them.
Excerpt:
Maya walked into the living room and twenty years instantly melted away. Bonnie was in her pajamas, fluffing pillows in a nest of blankets and couch cushions. She dropped her pillow and to sign to Maya. "Hurry up! Change! I want to watch the movies."
They were fully grown women now, but this scene echoed all the nights they spent together as little girls. It reminded Maya of all the time they spent talking and playing and watching movies together. How they'd hide from Biscuits and plan pranks on him.
"What's the rush?" Maya asked after she shed her jacket.
