She’s glad it’s dark and she can’t see the fall, only a moving shine on the water, blinking and shifting; a vague sense of the drop. But at the top, astride and facing Pat, she’s big again, in control, safe. Like a giant in a fairy tale.
Her hands have gone dead. She can’t even feel her legs or feet now. She wonders if she’s still touching the tiles, or is actually lifting away from the roof. She senses this is the end, this is it, there won’t be anything more and really, now, she just wishes it would happen. Close her eyes. Float away.
