I vote for keeping it here! Although I echo Colette's enjoyment of taking a piece from later in the story and letting us see it in the prologue as a glimmer of what's to come.
Dearest writer, I am answering your question about making this chapter the prologue. :) I really like the idea of taking something significant from the middle of the story and offering it at the beginning. It whispers that life's most significant times are more like quilt pieces yet to be sown together than the chronological sequence they happened in. That said, I am unsure if this chapter gives too much or not. You are the artist and I know it will be beautiful either way. :)
Thank you for your gentle thoughts and encouragement, Colette! There are so many ways that a piece can be sewn together. While I don't have the answer for this one yet, I know it will come in time.

Thank you, Christina!
