Description
Mother has been in Buffalo since she got out of the asylum, and now Alfie and his wife, Julianne, are bringing her home. Catherine and I talk about this on the way to the Greyhound station. I say, "Alfie says we can trust Mother." Catherine says, "Maybe he can, but what about you?" I touch my cheek with two fingers. I have a trail of scar tissue beneath my eye that marks a huge difference between Alfie and me. This scar shows where Mother fired a bullet across my face.
