If Books could Speak
This is the story of a girl in a yellow rain coat, a boy in an unhappy mood, and a thing that never should have happened. Derek held the world at bay, Lily danced to the beat of her own drum. They were destined to touch lives briefly before turning away forever. Nothing important or life changing was ever supposed to come from their relationship but the world failed to factor in the girl in the yellow rain coat. She never listened to the world, never cared for its opinion, laughed at its ideas, shattered its plans, and went about her day to day life without ever knowing it.
People change in an instant and she could not see in the end, were they crying for her or was she crying for them?
Sarah shattered Derek’s world long ago, Lily was beginning to glue it back together, but Sarah was not ready to let go. She knew what she wanted and she did not want Derek to be smitten by another woman and not by a girl in a yellow rain coat. Lily was everything Sarah was not and Sarah could not stand her. But had she not given up all say in Derek’s life the moment she left him?
Derek was faced with his ex wife just when he was beginning to get over her. Life was starting to look up, he was finding joy in the world, and then she waltzed in with scrubs and a husband. She hated the first person Derek had let into his world since the divorce and some part of him still loved her.
Emily was gone for good, but she was the only thing that could make Derek decide how to live his life. His world rested on the shoulders of a child he had never gotten the chance to meet.
