September 2086. Willow Nova is 5, Stephanie is 26. Jessica Pendleton is 24.
If you would have asked Stephanie a few years ago, she never would have guessed that she'd now be one of those Instagram moms who post pictures of carefully crafted school lunches for her children, made with love and fresh organic produce from her own garden. Surprise, surprise. Perhaps there were a lot of things never would have guessed about how her life would turn out from a few years back.
Willow hovered behind her in the kitchen, bouncing and giggling with anticipation. "Can I have a cookie in my lunch?"
"Of course," Stephanie said. "But promise me that you'll eat your fruit first."
"I promise!"
