On her sister's wedding day,
the whole family went to the hotel.
They left her home alone,
gripping the red hair clip she wanted to give her sister.
She called her dad.
"You disappointed me."
He hung up.
She called her mom.
"If you lie to me again, I won't love you anymore."
She hung up.
She sat by the door,
waiting for them to come home.
The lock was broken open.
When they finally came home,
she was still gripping the red hair clip.
She waited for them.
But she never has to wait again.
