… lies are maybe like cancer cells, spreading just for the heck of it. It’s like the first one goes rogue and takes on a life of its own and then the rest keep going because they can’t help it, they’re cancer cells and that’s what they do.Because after she calmed down, Elle took me to the couch and she made me put my head in her lap and she …told me she was skipping her visit to Jimmy’s this spring so she could be there for me, and Mindy was already buying a frozen lasagna to bring over because knowing Mama, she was probably in no state to cook.Then she sang Cher’s “Believe.” Except for the second verse because she couldn’t remember it.
