“you chose to have a child, which means you chose to have your heart broken, over and over, for the rest of your life.”

“Right,” the doctor said, pulling his phone out of his pocket, reading something, back in the pocket. “But of course the people on the ground screaming at you not to jump don’t understand the choice you have to make. They only see the fall. They don’t feel the fire.” “Right,” the doctor says. “Like you,” Lori said. “You’re just some asshole on the sidewalk, telling me not to jump, when you have no idea what you’re talking about.” He glanced up from his clipboard, looked directly at her for the first time. “No,” Lori said evenly, holding the doctor’s gaze. “I don’t want to die.” “Great,” he said, marking something on the clipboard. “The nurse’ll get your discharge papers ready.”

“Lori felt not just seen but exposed by the animal’s gaze, as if the fox were God Herself, but a different God from the one she’d learned about at Notre Dame Parish. This fox-god saw and knew all, just like the God she’d been instructed to believe in, but unlike Him the fox judged nothing. Her power and purpose was simply to observe and, in doing so, reveal Lori to herself in her entirety.”
