My mother doesn’t believe me. How I see you at night in that instant before my eyes adjust to the dark. I didn’t open the window. I didn’t move that chair.
“Don’t leave me,” I had begged, graveside. It is just like you, you bastard, to listen this time.
The tone of this is fantastic. It’s exactly what grief feels like.

That last line is just perfect. And I like the way you used repetition in the MC’s description of how she didn’t move the chair or open the window. Very nicely done. 🙂

That last line! We get the nature of their relationship in so few words.

I loved the voice of the protagonist and the way in which you told the story. The moving chair and open window were a bit spooky.
