The Gifted
“As I took the dogs up to the roof garden, my heart was heavy and the scene that greeted me in the kitchen when I got back to our condo didn’t lighten it.The line of Taylor’s mouth was grim and her body language made it clear she didn’t want physical contact with either Zack or me. She drank her juice, ignored the porridge in the pot, and made herself toast. When she sat down at the table, Zack wheeled close to her. “Taylor, do you want to talk about this?”“No. Not now.”“We love you.”Taylor pushed her chair back and stood. “Julian said you’d try to do this. He told me that no matter how many times you tell me you love me, I should remember that this is my life.”She grabbed her backpack and walked quickly out of the room. I saw that the bubblegum pink toque that matched the lining of her boots was still sitting on the kitchen counter. I called out to her as she was opening the front door. She pivoted to face me and I saw that she was crying. I went to her and snugged her toque over her ...ears the way I had when she was a child.MoreLess
