A beautiful piece. It feels like a conversation between friends, which you clearly are, you and the Hawthorn. Such a joy to read, as always xo

Congratulations, Bethany, on winning the competition. I love the loneliness and longing in this piece - the coming to terms with the natural order of things. The coming and going of life and living the in-between well. You write who we are exquisitely!
