Excerpt:
We walk into the lounge room, and it really is like walking into a house for the mourning. The heavy curtains are pulled shut, casting the room in shadow. Someone-presumably Deb-has lit an incense candle, so the heady scent of lavender fills the room. It creeps down my throat, choking me, and I stop, swallow, and try to take shallow breaths. Now is not the time to throw up.
On the couch is Kate. Scrunched up balls of tissue surround her, a pile of them on the floor, and a beige-coloured blanket covers her from the waist down. Her eyes are open, and she's staring straight ahead, but she doesn't make any move to signal she knows I'm in the room.
It's the single saddest thing I've ever seen.
I tiptoe over to her side, clear a space in the tissue debris and sit cross-legged on the floor next to her. "Kate?"
Nothing. Her eyes look straight past me, straight through me, to something I can't see.
My best friend is gone.
And I don't know if she's coming back.
