Her father’s last year, the machine had started whining — a high-pitched squeal like a teakettle left too long. "She’s tired," he’d said, personifying the appliance as he personified everything. "No," Clara had replied, "she just needs maintenance." She’d replaced the blades that spring. Cost more than the original unit. Worth it.

Step 5: Check for leaks. She ran her hand along the rubber seals. Dry. Intact. Her father had taught her that — "Feel, don’t just look." He’d been a mechanic before the tremors took his fine motor skills. Before the falls. Before the basement bathroom became his whole world.
