I laid down on the floor and put my head on my pillow. I’d just closed my eyes when Eula whispered, “I feel bad for your momma.” My eyes sprung back open. “Why? She’s so awful.” “ ’Cause she’ll never know what she missin’ in not knowin’ you.” Eula’s hand come over the edge of the couch and I took it. We stayed that way, just bein’ for a while, before I finally fell asleep.
