Made for You
“Eva WHEN NATE PARKS AND cuts off the engine, I release Grace’s hand. My heartbeat feels erratic in my chest, and I have the sudden urge to beg them to keep driving, to not stop here, to escape the stares and questions and grief that wait beside Micki’s still-open grave.
“Are you ready for this?” Grace asks when Nate goes to the trunk to get out my wheelchair.
“No.”
The trunk closes, shaking the car with the force of it.
“Do you want to go back?” Grace twists in her seat to face me.
“Yes, but I’...m not going to.”
Nate opens the back door on the passenger’s side. I sat with my back to the driver’s side door so my broken leg could stretch across the backseat, but I can’t get out that side. Once the door is open, I use my hands on the seat and my left leg to slide myself to the door. I pause at the edge of the seat when Nate asks, “Would it be okay for me to lift you?”
“I can do this. Just make sure the chair brakes are on.”
“They are.”
Grace is standing behind the chair, and Nate is at the open car door.MoreLess
