MIRA
PEERING DOwN through cotton so faded it was transparent, Mira stepped
into the only pair of clean underwear left in her drawer, pulling them up
carefully so they didn’t disintegrate on their way over her thighs. While she
hooked her last clean bra behind her back—a bright yellow disaster that
could double as caution tape—she tried to remember where she’d bought it.

And, more importantly, why? Halloween maybe? That year she’d gone all
in as a Minion because Ian had wanted to be Gru?
She frowned at her reflection in the full-length mirror, but she only had
herself to blame. This was what happened when she slept in instead of
doing laundry—she spent the day in the Mummy’s panties with a Minion’s
tits.
Taking a black tank dress out of her closet, she slipped it on, smoothed
it down over her hips, and shoved her feet into a pair of red canvas flats.
“Ian! You up?” she shouted, walking down the hall while slinging her hair
up into a ponytail. “You need to leave in—”
“Five minutes,” he grumbled, a spoon of Golden Grahams in suspended
animation on the way to his mouth. “School’s started at the same time all
year long, Mother.”
Ignoring her son’s general fourteen-year-old grumpiness, she kissed his
head through his curls and said, “Sorry, I slept in.”
“Neat,” he slurred, mouth full.
“I was up late making tarts.” She opened the fridge and pulled out the
OJ. “For Madigan and Ashley’s wedding.”
“Tarts? I thought you were making their cake.”
“I’m making both. Is Mimi up?”
He shook his head. “I heard her walking around in the middle of the
night again.” Standing from the table, he shuffled into the kitchen, rinsed
his bowl in the sink, and put it in the dishwasher before she had to remind
him. Miraculous. Hoisting his backpack over his shoulder, he said, “Gotta
go.”
She’d borne witness to every single day of Ian’s existence, but it still
shocked her, the way he’d miraculously transformed overnight into a tall,
deep-voiced man-child with an Adam’s apple budding from his throat, hair
sprouting on his upper lip, and an occasional ’tude that made her want to
check his skin for devil marks.
“Wait!” She skirted around the counter, intercepting him before he
could bolt down the stairs, spreading her arms wide. “Hugs?”
With a tight, obliging smile, he leaned in for the most perfunctory
single-arm non-hug hug in the history of humankind.
Pulling back, she studied him for the brief moment he allowed it,
noticing the way his shoulders drooped, the shadows smudged under his
hazel eyes. “You okay, buddy?”
“I’m fine,” he replied flatly.
“You sure?”
“Yep.”
“I’d know if you weren’t telling me the truth,” she said, arching a brow.
“Because you came from me. I grew you—”
“Mom.”
“—inside my body.”
