Vicki picks up the edges of the doily in front of her and pinches it, then rolls it like clay between her fingers. After a few tiny rolls she abruptly unfurls it, tiding it all up with a few strategic flicks of her index finger and brush of her palm. Her eyes focus on the table. She thinks about the color blue. She analyzes its pattern. She zooms in on the weave. She isolates the cotton fibers in the thread. On top of this she thinks about William. Maybe her stomach is thinking about William. Both sides of her brain are doing their job, but only one side thinks of William. She grabs the doily again with two fat fingers and thinks about the shade of her nail polish. 📸@marie.rose.photography #grandma #worrywort #parent #teacher #conference #waiting #8thgrade
