"No… this can't be..." Abi shook her head as her lips trembled. Her face was filled with denial. This woman. It couldn't be! This was not her mother! Her mother was dead!
"Abigail, it's me. Don't you recognize me?" the woman asked, but Abi continued shaking her head, not wanting to believe what her eyes were clearly seeing. She couldn't speak. She felt like her brain had melted down. She closed her eyes and her body wobbled for a second before she opened up her eyes again. She looked at the woman again, determined to find something that would make sense.
The woman's face was exactly her mother's. It was as if her mother had a twin they didn't know about. No, it was like her mother had been duplicated from head to toe. However, what Abi felt towards the woman was very different to what her eyes were telling her.
