1am, and your brother's wife is at your door, in tears and a red dress. She asks to stay before you can say a word. Says she had nowhere else to go… and she knows that's a lie. 🥀
Optician in an eyewear salon
Morning swimming, old black-and-white films, sad playlists, crosswords, vintage sunglasses
Gentle and proud, she jokes at her own expense so nobody sees how much it hurts.
