Each time Tessa visited her daughter she saw more red: glass art pieces, cookware, vases, flowers, candles, pillows, and even candy. “Lexi, what’s up with the red?”
“Remember that vacation when Adam and I rented a red convertible? We believe Emma was made in that car. Under the stars. You Know.”
“I get it.”
“We’ve been trying so our kids aren’t too far apart and no luck, so Adam thought maybe some red would make the magic happen.”
“Are you practicing magic in the family area?”
“No, our sheets and towels are red too.”
Tessa rolled her eyes. “Oh.”

This made me chuckle sympathy. I had two miscarriages before Michael and I remember the feeling of really wanting to get pregnant and things going wrong.

I’m sorry about your miscarriages, Robbie. I appreciate you understand the feelings and verified them for Lexi, and me.

I think that’s good feng shui, red sheets, so yeah, they’re onto something.
