there was a flickering moment of doubt
when she picked up his tiny shoe
and held it over her open mouth
she loved him to the point of consumption

Ahhhhrg! Don't mention consumption! The chef at work claims that he was absent the other day because he was at the hospital all day finding out he had tuberculosis and is going to die. Remember Goodbye Lenin? He's like that guy, only without the mother to keep alive. He just does it for himself.

What, the bit about consumption or the similarity to a character in a German film?
