she looked very young and weary

     Molly stood up suddenly. “I’ll uggs discount show you,” she said. “In my room.”
     They walked back to the hospital side by side, not touching, and Ben thought: of course, the Miriam sisters were all beautiful, most of the sisters were. Just as most of the brothers were handsome. It was a given. And it was meaningless.
     She pulled a blind down on the window in her little room and threw her cloak on the chair behind her discout ugg boots worktable. Then she pulled out drawings, sorting through them. Finally she handed one to him.
     It was a woman, no one he knew, but vaguely familiar. Sara, he realized; changed, but Sara. Beside her, mirrors reached into infinity, and in each mirror was another woman, each Sara, but none exactly like her. Here a scowl tightened the mouth, there a wide smile, another was laughing, ugg boots for women another had graying hair, wrinkles . . . He looked at Molly in bewilderment.
     She handed him another drawing. There was a tree, nothing more. A tree rising out of a solid rock. An impossible thing and he felt unsettled by it.
     Another drawing. She thrust it at him. A tiny boat on a vast sea that filled the paper from margin to margin. There was ugg boots discount outlet a solitary figure in the boat, so small it was insignificant, impossible to identify.
     He felt upset by the drawings. He looked at Molly on the other side of the drawing table; she was staring at him intently. She looked feverish, her cheeks flushed, her eyes too bright.
     “I need help, Ben,” she said, her voice low and compelling. “You have to help me.”
     “What?”
     “Ben, I have uggs discount to do those things in paints. I don’t know why, but I have to. And others. It won’t work with pencil, or pen and ink. I need color and light! Please!”
     She was weeping. Ben stared at her in surprise. This was her secret then? She wanted to paint? He suppressed an urge to smile at her, as if she were a child pleading for best breitling watches what was already hers.
     She read his expression and sat down and put her head back against the cloak. She closed her eyes. “Miriam understands, and so do my sisters,” she said tiredly, and now the high color in her cheeks faded and she looked very young and weary. “They won’t let me do it.”
