Iâll be so disappointed,
Though, Edel. We put
A lot of hard work into
Making that place into
Something more like
A home for us while
We were there.
I remember.
Youâd better.
You were there.
The mirror wasnât.
What?
The mirror.
The one that had
Changed my appearance
Enough that no one could
Recognise me as myself.
It wasnât there
