    Summary

    "The day she goes into labour, she stands at the nurses station, Tom's hand gripping hers, and for a fleeting, dizzying moment, her chest aches with how much she wishes her big brother was gripping her hand instead, holding her together in that way only he could. The way he held her hand the day their father died. She remembers the way she could hear his voice shaking but his hand was steady as an anchor, as if he was saying: It's okay. Give me your fear. Give me your grief. I can hold it. I can take it for both of us."

    Or: the Roy siblings try to learn how to love each other again after the carnage of the shareholders meeting.
