“He looks good.”
My mother wasn’t talking to anyone in particular. I think she said it aloud because she was grateful that her brother looked alive than dead. But I never understood why people said that; I guess it was reassuring that someone appeared asleep.
My uncle James didn’t particularly like me though he tried best to hide it. When I was thirteen I caught him kissing someone other than my aunt. I never knew what happened to the woman; I believe he resented me because I always knew his secret.
