Mama won't look at her, hands shaking as she reorganizes recipe cards in a little green box. Jacob is steady as he sprinkles cinnamon over Ilana's oatmeal. "Do you remember what happened?" he asks softly.
Ilana pops her spoon in her mouth. She remembers like pages torn from a book, silly pictures that don't mean anything. Stone walls bouncing back the sound of someone else talking with her voice. Will Jacob help me get better?
I hope so, Little Bird.
"Ilana?" Jacob says her name funny, like it's made out of dust. She swallows the sticky sweetness and shakes her head. Adults need things to make sense.
"Nope."
