CHAPTER 6
Sunday morning, Peyton dug through the back of her closet and pulled out her church dresses. Part of her was regretting she had told her mom she wanted to go to church, but she knew that part of it was the nerves getting to her. Peyton and her parents were a little late for church, so, gratefully, they were able to sneak in and sit down while the meeting was going.
The meeting went fast, and she received many hugs from people she had known previously or had grown up with. A lot of people tried to ask questions about how she was doing and if she had any plans, but her mom would quickly interrupt and say things were good. People got the hint that questions weren’t welcome. Peyton appreciated the people who would talk to her and pretend as if nothing happened.
