Whenever Bea thought back on her current life, an unbearable sadness washed over her. Even with her friends nearby, with her daughter loving her, Bea felt an inexplicable loneliness.
Nothing made sense in her mind. She let herself float atop the bubbling water, while her teary eyes stared up at the stars above.
"Wonder if she's seeing these beautiful stars too… I don't even know where she is… Is it day or night there? Is it cold like Antarctica, or hot like a desert? Maybe there is raining there… Does she have any shelter, or home…"
The words left Bea's mouth in quick succession. These were her locked away thoughts, which she kept locked away from everyone, even herself. She was barely aware of their meaning as her mind moved on.
