I might not have the husband or kids or suburban home, but I have a summer house in England, as an overachieving middle-aged professional should.
Thorne Manor is a start. A huge one for me, terrifying in its way. Like watching that passing train, realizing it’s not going to stop for me, and taking a running leap onto it. I am taking that leap, starting with renovating the house.

Then I see her face, and a fist hits me square in the gut, air knocked out of me as I jerk back.
It’s the woman from the moors.
The woman who died in the moors.

William exists.
My fingers slide over the paper, so old it threatens to crackle under my fingers, and as I do, I back onto the bed, and I exhale in what starts as a sigh only to crystallize into a deep, shuddering sob, relief and grief, too. The crashing wave of relief that comes with acknowledging that my mind never betrayed me.

Because I display a strong risk for becoming my mother, who’d promise me treats for an accomplishment only to bait-and-switch later.
No, I wouldn’t actually do that to my child, not when I know what it was like. I do, however, do it to myself.
