Mab doesn't come over to hug me - or even to sit on the same side of the table. She hardly asks after us, and not after Luc at all. That's different too. How have we let all of these walls rise up between us?
One brick at a time, I suppose, so slowly that we hardly noticed them being built until suddenly we could not see over them.
Her voice is strained, her smile even more so, and her words are vague as she replies to me and Valmont.
"I'm sure that you and Jack have it all in hand. But being out all night so often…it must wear on you?" I offer gently.
