The 37 Days of Gusmas Title: Oil Miracle Author: wavingcat5 Prompt: Hanukkah Notes: Got this in late, and prompts out of order due to Internet being a @#$%^! Back on the horse now :D
I go to our bedroom dresser to check for anything else I should take. I don’t know what to reach for. Numbly, I drop into a grocery bag what might be underwear, brush, hair product.
Then one bottle brings me out of myself. Post-natal recovery oil. I’d forgotten I even bought it. It was a present for Lindsay.
I never did give her the massage I promised. And now she’s probably past accepting it.
The miracle won’t be that this oil lasts eight days. The way things are, it’d be an act of God if it’s ever even opened.
