Chapter 14 - EMMA CHOOSES HER HAIR
Emma’s hair grew.
Unevenly at first.
Rachel took her to a stylist who specialized in children with sensory sensitivities.
No surprise.
No restraint.
Emma chose:
short bob,
soft bangs,
no clippers.
The stylist asked:
“Is this okay?”
Emma nodded.
Then changed her mind about one side.
The stylist stopped.
Immediately.
That simple stop made Emma cry.
Rachel held her hand.
The stylist waited.
No one said:
You’re making us late.
No one said:
Stop being difficult.
Ten minutes later, Emma said:
“Okay.”

The haircut continued.
Choice restored in tiny pieces.
