“That’s what us Tucks are, Winnie. Stuck so’s we can’t move on. We ain’t part of the wheel no more. Dropped off, Winnie. Left behind. And everywhere around us, things is moving and growing and changing.”

“A streak of panic rips through me as I think about the kids and how everyone has managed without me.

It is fruitless and I collapse back down on the bed. I will give myself another hour I tell myself, I just need another hour. Another hour of sleep.”
