Am I Right Or Am I Right? (2008) - Plot & Excerpts
Chapter 21Time for actionTell me I got it wrong. Please.This is the way I thought it through. Not so much a logical argument, more a series of images that coalesced. Stars on the edge.Mrs. Aldrick. Nervous. Not a comic figure, after all. Not someone to laugh at or make stupid jokes about how she seemed constantly on the verge of panic. No. Someone with a history. Someone who had been made that way by years of cruelty. Someone who, even though she no longer lived with the source of terror, had it ingrained in her responses. A door slamming, a voice raised. Enough to make her blood race, her nerves twitch. Seeking a place to hide, even years later. Someone who knew better than to give out unauthorized phone numbers.Vanessa. Withdrawn, shy, no confidence. Reluctant to share feelings. Scared when the weekend for her visit with her dad was approaching. Tears on a bench. Afterward, more withdrawn than normal. Aggressive, distracted—sometimes at the same time. Cuts and scratches in places where cuts and scratches should not be.
