Summary
'She blinks. Once. Twice. Multiple times in rapid succession. Dries her hands, takes her glasses off and cleans them with her sleeve. The spot doesn’t disappear. It doesn’t grow either, mercifully, but remains maddeningly and perfectly in the centre-left of her visual field. Huh. That's… unusual. It’s as if something small and six-legged has crawled across her eyeball and taken a bite out of it while she slept. Fear constricts her ribcage, cold and sudden.
Is she going blind?'
Helen loses her eyesight over time. Madeline is there every step of the way.

Summary
Her mother holds her face, a hand on each cheek. Her grasp is too firm. “Maddie. You do not want to marry a woman. You do not think women are pretty. You do not love women.” Madeline opens her mouth to protest but is silenced by the look in her mother’s eyes. “This is not a discussion, dear. This is something you are going to learn here and now. We will not have this conversation again. Do you understand?” Madeline nods, shakily. She doesn’t understand why, but she certainly knows what her mother means. And she knows to follow the rules.
Character study of Madeline throughout her life. She and her mom are both painfully aware that she's a lesbian but they're trying to pretend that's not real--lots of stuff with her mother, lots of low self-esteem depressing sex with men. MadHel, but it's gonna take a sec and most of it will be repression and yearning.
