BtVS Drabble Prompt: Glee

She remembered being happy.

Playing dolls, hosting tea parties for her teddy bears.

Free as a bird, running around the neighbourhood with her friends.

Giggling in bathrooms, making eyes at boys.

Kissing in the backseat until she was breathless, sneaking in late with a smile on her face.

She remembered being happy. Happy, joyful, blissed out, gleeful, giddy, merry.

But as she sat in a darkened room at 2 am with a glass of wine, waiting for her husband to come home, Joyce knew she hadn’t been happy in a very long time.

And she wanted to be happy again.

It's so easy to forget that mothers were once young. I feel sad for Joyce now, when I never have before.
