“Are they finished arguing?”
“For now. Mom said she’s frightened of watching you get older.”
“I’m frightened sometimes, too. But I’d rather have her here than miss another year.”
“Will you tell them?”
“Are they finished arguing?”

I offered my arm, and we returned to the dining room.
I pulled out her chair.
“Grandma, what do you want them to understand?”
She looked around the table.
