What I would see if I Looked in the mirror of Erised
"Look in the mirror and tell me what you see." He ordered me harshly.
I didn't want to look. I was afraid. What would I see...?
"LOOK AT IT!" He screamed at me spit flying from his mouth.
I jumped in fright and my head jerked toward the mirror and I looked.
I saw... myself(?) standing next to... someone. He didn't have a face. But he was smiling at me and... the small child in my arms.
I realized that this is what my heart desires.
A loving husband, a child. I wanted a family.
"What do you see?" He asks me quietly. His anger had abated.
I fall to the my knees in front of the mirror. I cover my eyes with my hands shakily.
"I see what I never had."
