BtVS Drabble Prompt: Tape

[garnigal]

Photos covered the mirror.

Old and curling baby pictures peeked through here and there, offering a nostalgic glimpse of pigtails and braces.

A pyramid of cheerleaders and a boy in a leather jacket were mostly hidden.

The newest photos overwhelmed everything that had come before. A girl asleep on a table surrounded by old leather books. A grinning boy in a Hawaiian shirt with a redhead on one side and a blonde on the other.

Joyce sat on Buffy’s bed and stared at the pictures she’d thought documented her daughter’s life. Stared, and wondered about the pictures that were missing.

I really liked this. Poor Joyce...

Thanks. I could picture her trying so hard to find the clues that she'd missed after Buffy ran away.

Joyce has no idea.

Well done.

Thank you. It came together quickly, which is always a good sign for me. :)

Poor Joyce. Parents rarely know the full story of their teenager's life, but Joyce was so in the dark.

Exactly. Thanks for reading and commenting.
