Matching heartbeat sister tattoos on forearms
Fine line · Forearm · Black and grey · Photo
Two wrists or forearms each carry a black fine line heartbeat trace that forms a heart in the middle, with the words little sister above one and big sister below the other. The linework is thin and even, with no shading, and the ink is solid black on pale skin. The two designs are shown one above the other, mirroring each other in size and position.

The strip of paper from Dad's monitor, the one you kept folded in your purse, is taped above the proving shelf now. Every time the dough sighs I look up at it. Two peaks, a dip, then that little heart you drew in biro in the margin, the only part of the ward you said was worth keeping. I still think you were right about that, though I'd never say so to your face.
Mr Okafor from the post office came in at six wanting his usual cob. He asked after you, and I told him you were teaching the Leeds lot to knead properly. He laughed, then stood looking at the bread for a long while, the way you do when something is nearly right and you can't yet say why.
Come home for Saturday. I'll leave the back door on the latch, and the first batch out will be yours, scored with your initials the way we did when we were small enough to stand on the flour crate. Bring the strip, if you still have it. We'll pin it back up where it belongs. Ruth.
