good?” she cried and held onto her pillow to muffle the noise. “God, I am so sorry for opening this door, please forgive me. Please deliver me from this torture. I promise I’ll never do it again. I won’t have sex with anyone but my husband,” Shay vowed then rocked and cried until she fell asleep.

    Reggie and Julia sat at the kitchen table watching Shay frantically move around, looking like a wild woman with her shoulder-length hair going every direction on the compass. She looked tired, like she hadn’t slept in days. It was two o’clock in the afternoon and she still wore pajamas. The white film in the corners of her mouth was indication she hadn’t brushed her teeth either. After pulling out every drawer and opening the cabinets, she moved to the den. She never said a word, so they had no idea what she was looking for.
    Julia looked at her husband for an answer, but he didn’t have one, just shrugged his shoulders.  Reggie had noticed Shay’s erratic behavior and had a pretty good idea as to what was bothering her. Brian was having similar issues. The other day at Starbucks, Brian went off because the young man gave him a grande instead of a tall caramel apple cider. It didn’t matter that they charged him for the smaller size. “That’s not what I want!” he yelled until they made him the right size.
    Shay stormed back into the kitchen. “Have you guys seen my gold charm bracelet?”
    Julia ignored her daughter’s rudeness. “Good afternoon, Shay.”
    “I said have you seen my gold charm bracelet?”
    Julia stood and pulled the piece of jewelry Brian had given Shay for her last birthday from her pocket. “Here,” Julia said softly. “I found it on the floor in the den.”
    “Mama, why didn’t you tell me you had it? You saw me running around here searching for it!” Shay yelled at her mother.
    “This is not going to end well,” Reggie mumbled.
    Julia swallowed hard. “Next time try opening that big mouth of yours and saying something.” Julia’s voice sounded too sweet, almost sugary.
    Reggie stood.
    Shay rolled her neck and screamed at her mother. “I don’t have to tell you everything, I’m a grown—”
    The avalanche came so fast, Shay didn’t get the chance to complete her sentence. Julia literally slammed the words out of her mouth. With ease, Julia grabbed her, flung her across the table and slammed her onto the kitchen floor. Shay thought she was about to die. Reggie grabbed Julia from behind and carried her out of the kitchen to keep her from doing any more damage. Shay took the opportunity to run for cover inside of her room.
    It took Reggie thirty minutes to calm Julia down and make her promise she wouldn’t kill her daughter, before he allowed her to go upstairs.
    “Mama, I’m sorry,” Shay said when Julia stepped into her room without knocking.
    “What is going on with you, Shay? “I’m going to give you a chance to tell the truth, before I read your mail.”
    “I got upset when I couldn’t find my bracelet, that’s all.” Shay turned away from her mother.
    “I’m not talking about just today. You’ve haven’t been yourself for over two weeks. What’s bothering you and don’t say nothing.”
    Shay didn’t respond, she couldn’t without telling her mother the whole story and she was too embarrassed to do that.
    “Shay,” Julia persisted.
    “I can’t say,” she finally answered between sniffles.
    Julia sighed deeply. “I’m turning into my mother.” Ana Simone could see through every smoke screen, like she had some kind of truth magnet chip embedded in her.
    “Then I’ll say it for you. You had sex and now you feel guilty about it because you want to do it again,” Julia stated plainly.
    Shay looked at her mother in disbelief. “How did you know?”
    “The questions you asked about the flesh and sin were a dead giveaway.”
    “Oh.” Shay’s voice was just above a whisper. “Do you know with whom?”
    Julia twisted her face. “Let
