+The moment with the kettle feels like the full realization that Bassey’s memory lapses are more than a personality trait and she’s very scared.
+What was your reaction to reading about her fears that both were about and were bigger than the kettle melting?

+How did Derek respond? How did his response compare to Michael’s responses in the past?

+Bassey describes a constant cycle of “the quiet” followed by “the storm” that is going on inside her mind. Do you notice any patterns like this in your own thinking?


++Are these questions different than the ones you were asking as you read? Enhance the discussion by adding questions!
