My mother knits a sweater. I ask her what she is thinking. She looks at me, her eyes tired, dark rings of concern.

“I worry,” she says. “I worry about you.”

“I’m going to the Couche-Tard for cigarettes,” I say. I get up and take a twenty dollar bill from my wallet and put it into the back pocket of my black jeans. I walk out onto the sidewalk. A woman passes me. Her head is tilted toward the ground. She frowns. Her clothes are neatly pressed. White blouse buttoned to the neck, black skirt that falls an inch above the knees, shiny black shoes. I look at my watch. It is six-thirty. She is likely coming home from work. She might be a waitress at La Maison Beefsteak, or maybe she is an administrative assistant at one of those factories on the highway. The wind blows. I shiver. In the Couche-Tard, I pick up a pack of cinnamon-flavoured Dentyne.

“Un paquet de Rothmans, s’il-vous-plait.” I pay and stroll home in silence. My feet seem to pound on the pavement. The medication weighs me down.
