I’m Brielle Evans, I’m Rainy Morning’s best friend. She’s Rainy Riley now that she’s married to Conner Riley, but I’ll always think of her as Rainy Morning. I’ve known Rainy all my life. Our moms are friends and were pregnant with us at the same time. She was born less than two weeks before me and our moms decided that one combined party was easier than two separate parties that close together. So Rainy and I had many twins birthday parties growing up. It was fine, I didn’t mind sharing with my bestie.
I just have one sister and we were raised by a single mom. She would never tell us where or who our father was, I can’t even say for sure that she knows. Her past is sketchy at best, and her lips are sealed. My guess is that Mom legally changed both her and my sister's names when she came here. Not mine since I wasn't born yet.
Why that was necessary scares me. Was our father abusive? Could he be out there somewhere looking for us? Could he find us some day? Who knows? Well Mom would, but she’s not talking. She doesn’t seem worried so I don’t either, mostly. Occasionally my imagination gets the best of me but I try my best to ignore it and push it away. If it were really an issue I would think that she’d warn us, at least that would be the logical thing to do. If your child’s life is in danger, you warn them of that danger. No warning means no threat, right? I hope so.
Enough about that, let me tell you about my job. I’m a kindergarten teacher. I get them while they’re still sweet and innocent, for the most part. It’s surprising sometimes, but usually they haven’t learned how to be jerks yet. I do my best to keep it that way.
So many babies have been born over the last two years, and I’m still single. I can’t complain too much. My friend, Emmy, is also still single. At least I’m not the only one. There are others in our group still single, it just feels like everyone is married and having babies. I’ll find my guy eventually, he’s just taking his time making himself known.
I met someone once and I thought maybe…but no, I was wrong. That guy wasn’t meant to be and I haven’t seen him since. We wouldn’t have worked anyway, the right guy will show eventually. I just need to be patient. I’m waiting for what Rainy found, I want the instant connection kind of love. I want our eyes to meet and we both just know.
I know it sounds like a stupid impossible fairytale. The kind of thing that doesn’t happen in real life. I used to believe that too, but it does happen. It really does, I’ve witnessed it happen to many of my friends. All those babies I mentioned? Yup, all their parents are that kind of love.
I want that too, and I’m going to stubbornly wait for it. He’s going to show up eventually, I know he will. I can patiently wait for him, it’ll be worth it. Rainy didn’t see it coming either, he just appeared one day. My guy will too, I just need to hold out until that happens. He’s going to come, eventually…
