âAâ¦a what?â Her face drains of color, and her voice squeaks.
âBirthday party,â I explain. âNot a very good one. Just Jessie and our neighbor Myriah, but itâs a special day. Arenât you excited to turn eighteen?â
âNo. Should I be?â Her eyes grow round, dark circles against pale skin. âWhat do I do now?â
âFor my eighteenth birthday, Mom and Dad threw a barn dance for my first visit home from college. Weâ¦â I shake my head. Somethingâs not right. Doesnât everyone look forward to birthdays? Surely that monster of a sperm donor gave his children a happy day once a year, at least? âDo what?â
As if sensing my fear, she chews on her bottom lip for several minutes. I resist the urge to pick up a nearby pencil and roll it between my fingers. Sheâs so skittish, this one. Sheâs older than my grandmother in some ways, but in others sheâs like a newborn baby. Everything terrifies her.
âIâll do the laundry now,â she decides. âI should have been doing it already. Is that enough?â
âEnough?â I stare at her, dumbfounded, and she grows paler. âI washed laundry yesterday. Thereâs nothing to do.â
She flinches, then gulps and steels herself. âI apologize. That was my mistake. Iâll do the cooking as well, then. And whatever you deem appropriate.â
I have no words, and she lowers her head. A tear leaks onto the desktop as her voice grows childish and soft.
âIâll go home now. Sorry.â She slides her chair back and stands up, refusing to look at me. She jerks away as I touch her elbow, and her voice wavers. âIâm sorry, Graciela. I never expected you to keep me.â
Sheâs fled to her room and taken out the little duffel bag Jessie gave her the night we went to the ER. By the time I catch up, sheâs packed her blanket and official documents. I grab her by the shoulders, disregarding the yelp of surprise. Was that pain? Maybe Iâm hurting her, but sheâs scaring me.
âWhat the hell do you think youâre doing?â
Damn it! Why did I raise my voice? She drops everything and lifts arms to shield her face, breaking free of my hold. Before I can say or do anything else, she crumples to the floor in a mess of sobs. âPlease,â she begs. âPlease let me go.â
âFine!â I spit the words out with anger Iâll regret for years to come. âYouâre still bruised, you scream at night with bad dreams, and you flinch every time I touch you. Iâm not your demon spawn father, Trinity! Iâm not going to hurt you. How can you think of running away when Iâve tried to keep you safe?â
A compassionate, mature woman would kneel to comfort the crying girl. I shout, shaking with rage. I want to shake her, but even at my angriest I wonât let myself do it. I slam the side of my fist into the wall instead, jolting the knickknack shelf. Exquisite, fragile glass ornaments plunge to the floor and shatter on impact. A unicorn with a real crystal on the tip of its horn.
