PREP TIME
Mia was everyone’s wife. When you were with Mia, she was more than
present. She was yours—there for you in a way no one else was. She looked
into your eyes the whole time you were talking. She heard you and knew
just what you needed, even when you didn’t. In Agnes’s opinion, Mia
Sinclair was the most sincere and generous person she’d ever met—so
smart, so beautiful, with a sense of humor that could wilt anyone who
underestimated her. It was that bond that happens only when you’re in your
early twenties, when you meet a friend and know: This is the girl I would
die for. This is the person I’m meant to know forever. That’s why it was a
shock when Mia actually did get married, as if the vows of friendship meant
nothing anymore.

She’d abandoned not just Agnes but everyone—Victor, Ethan, Zoey—
the whole five-way marriage that had grown around Mia and her friend
circle during college.
That time now counted as “years ago,” but Agnes still instinctively
grabbed her phone to call Mia anytime something “big” happened—
whether it was a disaster like her car stalling in the middle of the
Williamsburg Bridge or a thrill like seeing the French actress Marion
Cotillard outside a McDonald’s in the East Village. But the last time Agnes
had phoned Mia, she’d had to leave a message. Mia couldn’t have picked
up because she had already been taken to the hospital and put into a coma,
her slightly open eyes fluttering inside a fractured skull no one could
explain how she’d gotten.
Now she was out of the hospital, and it was time to help her heal.
Agnes drove fast, eager to get to Mia’s house in Connecticut, with Zoey in
the passenger seat. They zipped past red maples that were pink with buds
and serviceberry trees emerging in blossom. Beyond the highway they
shifted in the breeze like delicate white ghosts.
Over the last few weeks, Agnes had dropped everything and acted as a
conduit between the friends and Mia’s family, forwarding updates from
doctors, researching medical terms: stents, aphasia, visual memory loss.
When it had first happened, Agnes had emailed a pediatrician cousin and
asked why they would put Mia into an induced coma for a head injury.
It’s pressing pause on the patient’s life, she’d written back.
Because they don’t know what else to do.
In some ways, Mia had already done that by moving out here.
Although she’d spent some time in Brooklyn, it seemed like more and more
over the last year, when Agnes would phone her, she’d be “in the country.”
Agnes peered at the road signs, and Zoey shifted uncomfortably in the
passenger seat. Agnes could tell that Zoey wished she were the one driving
instead. “I was invited up here a few more times,” Zoey said, casually
declaring the old status wars of who had the most Mia Time. “Probably
because Ethan and I are a couple.”
Couple or not, on the count of Mia Time, Martin had clearly won over
everyone else.
After being weaned out of the fourteen-day coma and the subsequent
recovery time, Mia had been under her husband’s constant supervision.
