Do
you
want
something
?
"
Her
voice
,
hoarse
,
was
an
unmistakable
echo
down
the
corridors
of
memory
.
I
opened
my
mouth
,
but
nothing
came
out
.
My
mouth
worked
,
I
know
,
and
I
struggled
to
speak
to
her
,
to
get
something
out
,
because
in
that
moment
I
could
see
recognition
in
her
eyes
.
This
was
not
at
all
the
way
I
wanted
her
to
see
me
.
Not
standing
there
in
front
of
her
,
dumbly
,
unable
to
make
myself
understood
.
But
my
tongue
kept
getting
in
the
way
,
like
a
huge
obstruction
,
and
my
mouth
was
dry
.

Finally
,
something
came
out
.
Not
what
I
had
intended
(
I
had
planned
something
soothing
and
encouraging
,
to
take
control
of
the
situation
and
wipe
out
all
the
past
and
pain
with
a
few
words
)
but
all
that
came
out
of
my
cracked
throat
was
:
"
Maaa
.
.
.
"
With
all
the
things
I
had
learned
in
all
the
lan
­
guages
I
had
mastered
all
I
could
say
to
her
,
standing
on
the
porch
staring
at
me
,
was
,
"
Maaaa
.
"
Like
a
dry
-
mouthed
lamb
at
the
udder
.
She
wiped
her
forehead
with
the
back
of
her
arm
and
frowned
at
me
,
as
if
she
could
not
see
me
clearly
.
I
stepped
forward
,
past
the
gate
to
the
walk
,
and
then
toward
the
steps
.
She
drew
back
.
At
first
,
I
wasn
t
sure
whether
or
not
she
really
recog
­
nized
me
,
but
then
she
gasped
:
"
Charlie
!
.
.
.
"
She
didn
t
scream
it
or
whisper
it
.
She
just
gasped
it
as
one
might
do
coming
out
of
a
dream
.

"
Ma
.
.
.
"
I
started
up
the
steps
.
"
It
s
me
.
.
.
"
My
movement
startled
her
,
and
she
stepped
back
­
wards
,
kicking
over
the
bucket
of
soapy
water
,
and
the
dirty
suds
rushed
down
the
steps
.
"
What
are
you
doing
here
?
"
"
I
just
wanted
to
see
you
.
.
.
talk
to
you
.
.
.
