| Logically, Madilla knows that people die, sometimes. That accidents happen. Logically, she knows that it could have been worse: he could have died in pain, in fear, in terror. But knowing these things - logically, sensibly - don't protect her from the reality. Delifa sends her into the office with a mug of tea and a blanket around her shoulders, and she sits on the couch staring blankly at the wall. She feels like she ought to cry, but she can't find the tears. Instead, she stares. My daughter doesn't have a father, she says in her head, trying out the words. And then: "Lily's father died." On the edge of hysteria, she realises that this gives her the fiction she needs to take her daughter to visit her family. To go back, for the first time in nearly six turns. She's not sure if she wants to go. She's not sure what she wants. All she knows - all she really knows right now - is that she has to tell Lily, and she doesn't have the faintest idea how. |
