Chosen (2011)
“Daniel flicks a look back at Dodie as they round a corner.
‘You OK?’ Rebecca says.
‘Knackered. I just don’t understand –’ Martha puts her finger to her lips.
‘And I need to phone Rod,’ Dodie says. But phone calls are not enough, not tangible enough, that thready disembodied voice, it only makes the missing worse. What she needs is Rod’s arms round her, her arms round Jake. And Seth. Need, need, need. It’s exhausting.
‘Eat first,’ Martha says. ‘And after you’ve eaten you can speak to Rod. Then m...aybe you’d like to take in struction? The more you know, the more you’ll understand. And understand Seth’s decision to follow this path.’ ‘I was thinking more of a nap,’ Dodie says. ‘I’m just so tired.’ She longs so much to be alone. ‘I’ll have a nap this afternoon, if you don’t mind. Maybe you’ve got some magazines or something?’ Rebecca’s pale eyebrows shoot up. ‘Come on,’ she says, tucking her hand into Dodie’s arm.
‘I need to pee,’ Dodie says.MoreLess
