Lilywhite Boys - Susan/Cara
They travel south in a leisurely meander, taking plenty of sojourns in the Alps to strengthen Cara’s lungs. Then into Italy, where Susan lets Cara drag her from one art trail to the other. It feels so good to be able to give Cara what she loves, to see her growing stronger, freckling in the sun. They share long breakfasts and fall back into bed, giggling like girls and messing up the sheets.
In Morocco, they lie on the beach, their legs casually tangled in the sand. Susan watches Cara’s content, sun-kissed face and could almost believe in happy endings.
