CELINE’S POV

I was washing some utensils on the sink when I heard Martha speak behind

  1. me. “Why are you wearing a face mask all the time, Celine?” she asked

curiously.

It wasn’t until just now that it dawned on me that Martha and my mother

were both patients in the same hospital ward, but she was further along in

was watching on the television a week ago has the same face as mine if I

removed my face mask.

discovered that there was no toothpaste available. In addition, there was no

left in the bottle.
