After she was done thinking about her mother, she went to the kitchen to get a cold drink. When she walked in she saw May making a trail of graham crackers and marshmallows to lead a roach outside. She went to the refrigerator and was staring because she couldn't register what May was doing. She almost finished her glass of juice when it hit her. She stared at the trail for a little and realized that T.Ray told her that this is what her mother used to do. As the day went on she finally asked May if he ever knew a Deborah Fontanel. May said that she remembered her and she stayed out in the honey house. She had also mentioned that shee was the "sweetest thing." Lily wanted to ask a lot more questions but May started humming "Oh Susanna" and went to the wall. She went out in the honey house to take in that her mother had been in this exact place. She ended up falling asleep and having a dream about her making a trail of honey across a room in the honey house. Then the next minute she was in her bedroom. Then her mother walks in the door but does not look normal. She has roach legs protruding through her clothes. Then the next few days she was a bad case of nerves. The picture of her mother wiht roach legs would jump in her head and would make her feel sick. She walked around the house trying to picture her mom in every room. Everyone seemed to notice after a while. They all would ask her what was wrong and she would just lie and say nothing. She really wanted to go up to August and ask her if her mother had been there but fear stopped her.
