“Do you ever think of Aran?”

The car swerves, and the oncoming traffic sits on their horns. My mother straightens the car up. “Why would you ask me that?” Her clipped words and reaction make more shame burn through me.

“I’m sorry. I don’t know what’s wrong with me. I don’t know why I just asked you that.” I take a quick peek at my mother. Her red nails are wrapped around the steering wheel. That’s twice I’ve noticed her wearing red nail polish.

“I think about him every day.”

My heart breaks even further, and even though I just told her I didn’t know why I asked her that, I do know. I need to see the hate in her eyes. I need a reminder of all she lost for me. So I continue to pick the scab.

“His birthday is next month.”

The car doesn’t swerve, but we move faster down the road.

“What, he’ll be twenty-six?”

“Stop.” My mother’s voice is pained.

I need the wound to gape wide open. “Do you wonder if he ever thinks about us?”

This time I meet my mother’s eyes, and I see what I am looking for. All the hate in the world rolled up tightly and delivered to me in a bow. “Never mind,” I add quickly.

The silence on the drive to the hospital is strained and heavy. This I understand. I face forward, sitting rod straight, and I try not to blink as buildings move past us.
