Hal supine: Accomplice!, the blizzard, Weston (p. 954)
Her face settles a little lower on her skull than it did four years ago, with a slight bunching under the chin and an emerging potential for something pruny happening around her mouth, in time, I thought I could see.
Context
Hal dates the Moms's aging from Himself's funeral — "four years ago." Carlisle flags the count as wrong (about five and a half by the book's chronology) and notes the same mis-count recurring at n.381, reading it as a motif: the family keeps shaving time off the death, a collective mis-memory nobody corrects (cf. Hal's "four years 216 days" and Joelle's "four years seven months six days," both in the supporting section). Carlisle's reading, recorded not adopted.
