Chapter 6 - Lily did not

Lily could not hear my voice.
But she could feel vibration.
Watch movement.
Notice reactions.
One evening, I sat with her building wooden blocks.
A pan fell in the kitchen.
I turned my head.
Lily stared at me.

I said:
Sometimes.
Then:
After dinner bad.
I stared.
“What?”
She repeated:
After dinner bad.

I had not made that connection.
