She showed me the test that she was retaking and asked me “Is this okay?” I told her that she could use as much space as she needed and needn’t be afraid of running out of paper to write on. I pulled out my copy to inform her that my exam was over 10 pages long.

We turned off all of the nights in the living room to demonstrate the brightness of the moon. We were expecting my sister-in-law’s child any moment now as we prepared to go to sleep. I listened to the drone of my parents talking while feeling like I was able to wake up from my nap at any moment.
