“It’s fine,” Sylvia said. “I was just thinking how much I agree with you right now. Yes. Yes, it does feel like that.”
Lise looked at the baby, wrapped in the hospital-issue receiving blanket, that Cindy was holding.
“She’s beautiful,” Lise said. “Have you picked out a name yet?”
Cindy looked at her daughter, not even needing to look at the others because she felt their love all around her—the love of the sister she was born with, and the love of the sisters she’d chosen—and spoke one word:
“Sylvia.”
