Sunday morning Nancy found Courtney in bed; she wasn’t breathing. Barely able to keep her battered SUV on the road, Nancy followed the ambulance. The EMTs said Courtney might have OD’ed. She was 17, out of school, and had started staying out all night with God knows who. She had a smart mouth and Nancy couldn’t handle her since Ray left. As she drove, Nancy touched the tender bruise under her left eye from earlier that week and thought how she was still bigger and stronger but her daughter was quicker now. Or at least she had been.
