CHAPTER

12

Some Semblance of Peace

A strange sort of peace fell on us over the next few days, as if learning of Ellen’s imminent death sealed a bond between all the family. For me, there could be no pleasure in the knowledge that her death would release Matthew. Yet, now that the waiting was almost over, the full stop to the sentence of her life would bring with it a sense of fulfilment, a life brought full circle and to its natural conclusion. I knew Matthew yearned for such freedom for himself and that I would deny him his wish if I could, for dread of losing him.

Maggie emerged from her room bewildered and frightened, but sentient enough to understand the implications of what she had said and done. Between them, Henry and Matthew organized discreet assessment and treatment for her in a nearby private residential unit. There, she would be able to rest, and come to terms with her grandmother’s impending death.
