The Brilliant Light of Amber Sunrise
“Sometimes she’d be sprightly and responsive, her cheeks flushed with color, like she was crawling out of the cocoon of her own disease. Other times she’d be silent, sallow and sickly, and barely able to lift her head without every muscle in her body shuddering in pain.
I’d try to keep her upbeat with my many interesting stories and lesser-known facts about eighties teen films and seventies rock bands. But such was the extent of her suffering that sometimes even this would make little differ...ence to her mood.
The one constant that seemed to keep her going—other than tormenting Kelly and making snoring sounds whenever I had been talking for too long—was the oft-postponed promise of her homecoming. The idea was that she would spend some time back at Colette’s house, in her own bed, and receive daily visits from a nurse while she took her treatment in a more familiar environment.
