“It was too fierce, the pain of having children. It hurt just to love them, let alone this. It hurt to be impatient, bored, entranced. Always knowing they were on their way away. How could you so much as kiss their tiny toes knowing that? The pain was the exact size of Kathryn’s own body. Feeling it was simply the inside of herself.”
— Ann Packer, SWIM BACK TO ME: Stories
