Part Five: Bea

My third daughter was seven years old in September 2010 and she looks exactly like her mother.

That is the whole of it and it took me until she was nineteen to see it, and by then she had been gone for two years.

The others got a share of both of us.

Odile has my jaw.

Teddy has my mother’s hands and my terrible eyesight.

The twins are their own thing entirely.
