Even stabilised, her mother teeters on the edge of consciousness like a spinning top, her filmy eyelids twitching, her dry lips coughing out words and names and half-thought prayers. If this is the new norm, it’s one Delia has mixed feelings about, even as the early-morning light warms the room and she packs up her things to go home.

Less active, less conscious, her mother is less likely to hurt herself, to hurt Delia, but there’s something discomforting in seeing her so reduced. Seeing her shrunken form nearly lost in the folds of the starchy, too-white sheets.

In her car, Delia buckles her seatbelt, then stops, her hands heavy in her lap, her body tight and aching from sitting for so long in the merciless chair. She cracks her neck, rolls her shoulders, again and again, then hits the base of the steering wheel, her eyes tightly shut.

Now you see me.

She turns the keys.
