Margaret
Connie came home on a Friday.
She didn’t call ahead to ask if it was convenient. She simply appeared at the door with her bag over her shoulder and her car keys still in her hand and looked at her mother for a long moment before Margaret pulled her inside and held her in the hallway without speaking. Connie was taller than her mother by two inches and Margaret felt that height now, felt the solidity of her older daughter, and held on longer than she intended to.
Bill came out of the kitchen and stopped. He nodded at Connie once, the way he nodded at things he was glad about but couldn’t say, and then went back to wherever he had been.
Connie watched him go.
They sat at the kitchen table with tea Margaret made without asking if anyone wanted it because making tea was something she could do. Serena was sleeping. She slept more now, long afternoon sleeps that Margaret monitored from the hallway, standing outside the door listening to her daughter breathe.
“How is she?” Connie said. Not a question exactly.
Margaret wrapped both hands around her mug. “She has good hours and bad hours. The mornings are hardest. She gets headaches.”
“Is she in pain?”
“Not yet. The doctor says later there may be more. We’ll manage it when it comes.”
They sat with that.
“And Dad?” Connie said.
Margaret looked at her tea. “Your father loves her very much.”
“That wasn’t what I asked.”
Margaret didn’t answer. She didn’t need to. Connie had always been able to read the Li household the way other people read rooms — quickly, accurately, without being told.
“He goes to work,” Margaret said finally. “He comes home. He eats dinner. He watches television. He doesn’t go in to see her much. He says it upsets her when he cries.”
“Does it?”
“No,” Margaret said. “It upsets him.”
Connie nodded slowly. “And you?”
Margaret looked at her older daughter. Constance Li, who had come home without being asked, who was sitting across from her at seven in the evening asking the questions Bill couldn’t ask, who had her father’s cheekbones and her grandmother’s stubbornness and something entirely her own that Margaret had never quite been able to name.
“I manage,” Margaret said.
Connie reached across the table and put her hand over her mother’s.
They stayed like that until they heard Serena’s door open down the hall.
Serena ate a little at dinner. Not enough but more than the day before and Margaret noted this the way she noted all of it now, the small measurements of her daughter’s diminishing life. Half a bowl of congee. Six spoonfuls. Eight. Progress and regression tracked in units Margaret had never imagined she would use.
After dinner Connie sat with Serena on her bed and Margaret washed the dishes and listened to the low murmur of her daughters’ voices through the wall. She couldn’t make out words. Just the rhythm of them. Connie’s voice steadier, Serena’s lighter, and once Serena’s laugh, brief and real, and Margaret stood at the sink with her hands in the water and closed her eyes.
She had not heard that laugh in three weeks.
Three days after Connie came home, Margaret pulled her from school on medical grounds.
It was the right decision and they all knew it. The stress of studying could worsen her condition and there was no graduation waiting at the end of it regardless, though no one said that last part out loud. Serena turned in her textbooks and cleaned out her locker and came home for good on a Tuesday afternoon with a cardboard box of her things and set it on her bedroom floor and stood looking at it for a moment.
Margaret watched from the doorway.
“Okay?” Margaret said.
“Fine,” Serena said. Then, more honestly, “Strange.”
“Yes,” Margaret said. “It is.”
Serena’s friends came at first. They appeared at the door in pairs and small groups with the careful brightness of teenagers who had been coached by their parents on what to say and had forgotten most of it by the time they arrived. They sat in Serena’s room and talked about school, about teachers, about who was trying to date whom, and Margaret could hear through the wall how the conversation moved in fits and starts, the long silences, the particular awkwardness of people who still lived inside the world Serena had been removed from trying to reach someone on the other side of a distance they couldn’t name.
The visits became shorter. Then less frequent. Then they stopped.
They kept in touch through texts and emails instead. Small careful messages that arrived in Serena’s phone with the regularity of obligation. Thinking of you. Hope you’re feeling okay. Miss you. Serena read them and set her phone down and stared at the ceiling because she genuinely did not know how to respond to them. What they were asking for was reassurance — tell us you’re okay, tell us this isn’t as terrible as it is — and she had nothing to give them on that front.
Amy was the last to stop coming.
Amy Chen, who had sat beside her in AP Literature for three years and knew her better than anyone outside the Li house, came twice a week for the first month after the diagnosis and then once a week and then her visits developed a strange quality, a slight reluctance underneath the warmth, and one afternoon Serena looked at her oldest friend sitting in the chair by her desk and understood what was happening before Amy said anything.
“Your parents,” Serena said.
Amy looked at her hands. “They’re just—”
