I
wish
there
was
something
we
could
do
,
"
Gran
says
.
"
I
feel
so
useless
just
waiting
.
"
"
I
’
ll
see
if
I
can
get
you
in
to
see
her
in
a
little
while
,
"
the
social
worker
says
.
She
has
frizzy
gray
hair
and
a
coffee
stain
on
her
blouse
;
her
face
is
kind
.
"
She
’
s
still
sedated
from
the
surgery
and
she
’
s
on
a
ventilator
to
help
her
breathe
while
her
body
heals
from
the
trauma
.
But
it
can
be
helpful
even
for
patients
in
a
comatose
state
to
hear
from
their
loved
ones
.
"
Gramps
grunts
in
reply
.
"
Do
you
have
any
people
you
can
call
?
"
the
social
worker
asks
.
"
Relatives
who
might
like
to
be
here
with
you
.
I
understand
this
must
be
quite
a
trial
for
you
,
but
the
stronger
you
can
be
,
the
more
it
will
help
Mia
.
"
I
startle
when
I
hear
the
social
worker
say
my
name
.
It
’
s
a
jarring
reminder
that
it
’
s
me
they
’
re
talking
about
.
Gran
tells
her
about
the
various
people
who
are
en
route
right
now
,
aunts
,
uncles
.
I
don
’
t
hear
any
mention
of
Adam
.
Adam
is
the
one
I
really
want
to
see
.
I
wish
I
knew
where
he
was
so
I
could
try
to
go
there
.
I
have
no
idea
how
he
’
s
going
to
find
out
about
me
.
Gran
and
Gramps
don
’
t
have
his
phone
number
.
They
don
’
t
carry
cell
phones
,
so
he
can
’
t
call
them
.
And
I
don
’
t
know
how
he
’
d
even
know
to
call
them
.
The
people
who
would
normally
pass
along
pertinent
information
that
something
has
happened
to
me
are
in
no
position
to
do
that
.
I
stand
over
the
bleeping
tubed
lifeless
form
that
is
me
.
My
skin
is
gray
.
My
eyes
are
taped
shut
.
I
wish
someone
would
take
the
tape
off
.
It
looks
like
it
itches
.
The
nice
nurse
bustles
over
.
Her
scrubs
have
lollipops
on
them
,
even
though
this
isn
’
t
a
pediatric
unit
.
"
How
’
s
it
going
,
sweetheart
?
"
she
asks
me
,
as
if
we
just
bumped
into
each
other
in
the
grocery
store
.
It
didn
’
t
start
out
so
smoothly
with
Adam
and
me
.
I
think
I
had
this
notion
that
love
conquers
all
.
And
by
the
time
he
dropped
me
off
from
the
Yo
-
Yo
Ma
concert
,
I
think
we
were
both
aware
that
we
were
falling
in
love
.
I
thought
that
getting
to
this
part
was
the
challenge
.
In
books
and
movies
,
the
stories
always
end
when
the
two
people
finally
have
their
romantic
kiss
.
The
happily
-
ever
-
after
part
is
just
assumed
.
It
didn
’
t
quite
work
that
way
for
us
.
It
turned
out
that
coming
from
such
far
corners
of
the
social
universe
had
its
downsides
.
We
continued
to
see
each
other
in
the
music
wing
,
but
these
interactions
remained
platonic
,
as
if
neither
one
of
us
wanted
to
mess
with
a
good
thing
.
But
whenever
we
met
at
other
places
in
the
school
—
when
we
sat
together
in
the
cafeteria
or
studied
side
by
side
on
the
quad
on
a
sunny
day
—
something
was
off
.
We
were
uncomfortable
.
Conversation
was
stilted
.
One
of
us
would
say
something
and
the
other
would
start
to
say
something
else
at
the
same
time
.
