I drove out to my parents’ house that same afternoon.

My mom moved as if carrying something invisible on her shoulders.

I stayed to help with the funeral arrangements, paperwork, and the endless small decisions that come with saying goodbye.

But the truth is, I didn’t want to leave her alone in that house. So I stayed.

« Your father’s gone. »

I noticed that the door to Adele’s room was closed.
