Darcy managed to choke out “Why”. Amelia paused. She replied “Just..because”. The conversation was followed by a silence. So the silence remains as Darcy now turns her head facing Amelia. She says softly, “You’ll never be as thin as you want to be”. Amelia thought about it. She closed her eyes and whispered, “It doesn’t hurt to try”. Darcy turned the opposite way and flipped her pillow as tears swam in her eyes. She opened her mouth that was prepared to speak “Its better to be fat than to be dead”, but instead found herself saying “Good point”. That night Darcy wondered if it really was worth it. After deciding against it, Darcy wondered what to do as she gently cried herself into a deep, long sleep.
