Chapter 19As I sat with Casey, my mind was going a hundred miles an hour. She was going to need more help, specific help. Cora would need some care while Casey was in the hospital. If she didn’t find care by the time our respite care time ended, she could lose Cora.
To pass some time, I made a list of all the people I could think of to take Cora for Casey. Corbin was at the top of the list. He was a single dude, but maybe he would be willing to help for Cora’s sake. He didn’t like his parents any more than Casey did.
After Corbin, I listed my parents, who I knew were too poor, my sisters, who I knew were too busy, and then, I was out of ideas. I sat with my hands in my lap, squeezing my thumbs repeatedly. Something about the gesture soothed me and reminded me to fight at the same time.
