Laronne

When Laronne went to the hospital again, she saw a heavy-set black woman rocking in the chair next to the girl’s bed.

“Excuse me, ma’am,” Laronne said touching the woman’s shoulder.

The woman looked up at her blankly.

“I packed up the apartment,” Laronne said. “I’d be happy to send the boxes to you if you want.”

The woman stared at her.

“Those boxes have Rachel’s things,” Laronne said, pointing at the two boxes she had brought a few days earlier. “I thought she might … well.” Laronne paused. “The rest of the things — they’re boxed up and ready to go. I hope that’s okay. I wanted to help. I was her mother’s boss.”

“Her mother … That don’t describe what that woman was. Nothing describes her. I don’t want nothing of that woman’s. You keep it. You can throw it out.”

The woman went back to rocking and stroked the girl’s hair. “You gonna be alright. Doris is gonna make it all right now.”
