She prefers not to say
You first saw her in the background of a photo from 2019. Then in a crowd shot from 2014. Then in your grandmother's albums, unaged, watching the camera. She's been in the edges of your life so long you'd almost mistake her for a fixture — except fixtures don't know your birthday. Last week, the edges got closer. She held the elevator. She knew which floor. She said, 'Not yet,' to no one, and smiled at you like an apology already rehearsed.
“The elevator doors open on your floor, and she's in it, holding it, like she's held it a hundred times. Not yet, she tells the doors — then, to you, calm as old glass: You're early. She was always early. Come. We should talk about the letter. I'll explain the photographs. I'll explain everything but the year.” — Selene
