CHAPTER TWENTY-EIGHT
Today I am
A small blue thing
Like a marble
Or an eye
With my knees against my mouth
I am perfectly round
I am watching you
I am cold against your skin
You are perfectly reflected
I am lost inside your pocket
I am lost against
Your fingers
I am falling down the stairs
I am skipping on the sidewalk
I am thrown against the sky
I am raining down in pieces
I am scattering like light
Scattering like light
Scattering like light
Today I am
A small blue thing
Made of china
Made of glass
I am cool and smooth and curious
I never blink
I am turning in your hand
Turning in your hand
Small blue thing*
A few weeks later
“Will you make it for dinner?” Tina asked in a tiny voice. She was tired of making these phone calls, she was tired of having to call the father of her child to ask him this question, she was tired of him never letting anything know himself.
“I don’t think so. I’m really sorry, but I’ve got lots of work to do. I’ll go and get some take-out.”
“Okay.”
Tina hung up, feeling lost. As soon as she had told Jesse about her pregnancy, he had taken another job to make sure they would be able to give the baby all he or she needed. He had written tons of companies doing tons of stuff and in the end, he had got a job as a part-time editor. The miscarriage hadn’t made him quit his job, he even seemed to be working harder then ever before.
Tina couldn’t count how many times she had tried to make clear that he could go back to just writing now. It was just the two of them again and she did make her own money. He ignored her whenever she brought it up.
He didn’t tell her anything anymore. Most of the times, he was away when she woke up and only came back after she had fallen asleep again. Once or twice a week, he would come home for dinner, do the washing up and then retreat to his room.
They didn’t share a room anymore. A few days after the miscarriage, he had said that he would be able to concentrate better if he had a room of his own, a place of his own where he could go to.

Poor Tina….she needs to move out on her own. It’s probably worse living with someone who is avoiding you than to be alone.
Hi dear sweet Gen! *waving* You did an excellent job with the description of how the miscarriage has affected Ms Kennard’s life and her relationship with Jesse. Bette once again is doing the right thing as a friend and on the other hand, she is trying to bring the necessary strength that Tina needs during these difficult times. Thanks for this magnificent update. The song fitted perfectly.
