Chapter 14 - THE FIRST TIME I HAD FELT WRONGTen days before the fall, I fell asleep at my desk at three in the afternoon.
I blamed pregnancy.
Six days before:
I became dizzy after tea at Evelyn’s house.
She drove me home.
Four days before:
I missed dinner because I slept from five until nearly midnight.
Daniel had texted his mother about that.
I had laughed afterward.
“Apparently pregnancy turned me into a narcoleptic.”
Nobody laughed now.
Medical records showed no anemia severe enough to explain episodes.
Blood pressure normal.
Could pregnancy still cause fatigue?
Yes.
Could sedative exposure explain more?
Yes.

Pattern.
Not yet proof of who.
