“Why are you giving that bitch your time?”
“That bitch is my mother, so watch your mouth.”
“Sorry, why are you giving that bitch, your mother, your time? Better?”
Miller turns to look at Florence, crossing her arms in front of her chest
and waiting for the other woman to apologize. When her fiancée makes no
move to retract the comment, she rolls her eyes and goes back to looking
through her side of the bedroom closet. She can feel Florence staring at her,
the strength of her gaze practically boring holes through her sensitive skin,
and the hair on the back of Miller’s neck bristles in response.
“I just can’t understand how you’re letting her weasel her way back into
your life,” Florence finally says to the back of Miller’s head.
“After all the
shit she put you through, put us through—”
“I’m not letting her back, I’m—”
“—and after all the work you’ve done—”
“—just trying to find some middle ground—”
“—to put up those boundaries—”
“—with her.”
“—I can’t believe you’re just letting her win.”
Miller shakes her head in frustration. She grabs one of the thick sweaters
from the back of the closet, tries not to stretch the neck wider as she pulls it
off its metal hanger, and begins to fold it as she turns back to face her partner.
“She’s not winning, Flor. We’re just talking things out.”
“It feels like she is. By agreeing to this weekend, you’ve basically told
her that if she doesn’t get her way at first, then she can harass you as much as
she wants until she finally does.”
Miller rolls her eyes in protest, but knows there’s a hint of truth to what
Florence tells her.
It had started innocently enough: a call from a number she didn’t
recognize. Not wanting to deal with spam calls or telemarketers, she had let it
go to voicemail. When she’d eventually played the message back, it was from
Sylvie, her mother, who she’d cut off all contact from a few years earlier.
She’d been tempted to block the number, but thoughts of what had happened
last March—only a few months shy of a year ago—had stopped her cold and,
instead, she’d deleted the voicemail.

know that she’d changed phone numbers. Then it was once a day to tell her
she missed her. Then it was practically every hour to tell her how much she
loved her “little girl,” words that would have meant something to her long
ago, but were now too little too late.
