Things went fairly quickly at the motor vehicle department, all things considered. The whole time they were waiting, Alex tried as hard as he could not to think about his grandmother, about what she must be going through right now. She’d always been so strong, so vital. These last months had been brutal enough, but with this stroke? What if it turned out she couldn’t ever speak again? What if she were paralyzed? What would the clan do then? When a prima passed away, it was one thing. Time-honored mechanisms were in place to ensure a more or less uneventful transfer of power. But when the head of a clan was incapacitated…that made things far more complicated.
Funny how the more you told yourself not to think about something, the more your brain just kept grinding away at it.
