Right, Jussy? So I have to be okay.Behind her in the laundry, the washing machine began to shudder as it moved into the spin cycle. Justine wrapped her arms more tightly around her chest. She was hugging herself now.Frankie, she murmured. She bit her lip.That’s not how it is, she said.Isn’t it? I said.And then there was nothing more for us to say to each other."Adelaide.
