The Child Who Called Me Mom
Nina is seven. She calls her nurse “Mom” and knows her lullaby. At the hospital, Claire Vannier is used to reassuring children without taking their families’ place. Nina’s recognition unsettles that distance. A word could be a simple mistake. A private song makes ordinary explanations harder to return to.
