In Minh's Oldsmobile, Hương got in the back seat next to her daughter. Maybe she thought their proximity could ease the tension between them. She started to open her mouth to say that she was sorry, that her barbed words only emerged from worry, that she loved Ann more than anything, couldn't she see it?
But Ann moved far away from her, to the opposite side of the car. She pressed her face to the car window. And so Hương turned away, too, sighing into the silence. They stayed that way until the car rumbled up the drive toward the Banyan House, which would once again keep them all safely caged.
