“I don’t know,” Tabitha said, chewing on her lip. Etrafa is so very far away.”
“I think it would be good for you, Tabitha. You can’t live your whole life locked away on Maj.”
“All right, I’ll go.” She wasn’t very excited about it, but she knew if Dearra’s mind was set on it, she was better off just giving in now and sparing herself a long, drawn out fight.
Dearra looked relieved. “You’ll love it, Tabitha. It’s beautiful. Aesri says she wants to leave right away.”
“Right away?” Tabitha swallowed back the fear that had bubbled up within her. “You sound like you’re anxious to be rid of me,” she snapped.
Dearra put her arm around Tabitha’s shoulders. “That’s not true, and you know it. Your father and I will miss you terribly. Despite our differences, I do love you, Tabitha. You and your brother are my world.”
Tabitha felt badly about how she had reacted. “I love you, too, Mother,” she said. She offered her a somewhat stiff embrace.
“There, now, that’s better,” Brin said. “See, Tabitha? When you came in here this morning, you were so sure that all your tomorrows would be the same as the days before. Didn’t I tell you that one never knows for sure what’s behind the door until they open it and walk through? I think you’ve just taken the first step.”
