I knock on her bedroom door, I am holding a plate of food. Cat, are you hungry? There is no answer. I open the door, she is lying on the bed in just a tiny shirt and shorts. She doesn’t bother covering up or looking at me, she stares out the window. I put down the plate on her nightstand and turn to walk out.
you? Is everyone else gone?
Yeah, it’s just me here. She still doesn’t look at me, she simply says, Why did you stay?
