“We can’t do it,” Liz whispers to her family
sitting around her. Eva listens intently
for the first time in her life.
“You
can’t do what?” their mother asks kindly.
“We
can’t leave it behind. We’ve tried for
years, but we can’t leave it behind,” Jackie explains.
“You
left, didn’t you?” Eva asks. “You quit,
you walked out, Liz kicked a man in the crotch.
You came back to us. And now you
tell us that you can’t move on? Don’t
you think that’s a little…I don’t know…late?”
Liz
shoots Eva a look. “You know what? You spend nearly nine months in a cult like
that, then tell me how easy it is for you to forget it.”
