This Irish House (2012)
“It happened more often, lately, this closing of her air passages, the bands of tension tightening around her middle until she was forced to pull over to the side of the road or sit down in any available seat, scramble for her Ventolin inhaler, ignore the inquiring looks and simply wait until the episode was over.
A finger of light broke through the morning fog and flickered over the Twelve Bens, green with vegetation from spring rains. Perhaps there would be sun today. She stuffed the inhal...er into the pocket of her windbreaker, pulled out her gloves and jogged down the sidewalk to the path leading toward the beach. She’d taken a break and returned to Ardara, hoping that a night spent in her own bed would work its restorative magic, her bed that no longer held any joy, any hope of love or sex or pleasure. She pushed the thought away. Her own problems could wait. Her priority was Kevin. She saw him every day. His visitation was no longer restricted and each time it was harder for her to leave.MoreLess
