salty sweet

Warm toes tickling her own in the cold winter mornings surprise Parker awake. More than a few times the surprise is her favorite cookies warm from the oven for no other reason than love, and just because. Those are the best. Soft and warm. Filled with comfort and sweetness.

There are other surprises. Those with hard edges and sharp claws. Waking up at midnight and being struck by how much she now has to lose. Everything.

Fear so thick it chokes. Worry so fierce it binds. There are so many kinds of surprises. Parker likes the cookie ones the most.
