    Summary

    She wonders when her own mother stopped feeling like a child. Was it when he turned eighteen? Or was it earlier, when his sisters were born and he was cast out from the family, four or five years old? He would have been so young. Was it when he was twenty-seven and disowned in Italy? Was it when he had sex with her biological father, when he lost his virginity, when he bled onto the bench? Was it when she was born? When she was sick? When Sofia was born? Does he still feel like a child in an adult’s body? Does one ever truly feel like they’ve grown up?

     

    Or, Mati gets drafted into the NHL. It causes himself, and his siblings and Bella, to start growing up.
