Meenu sat straight up in bed. She was dreaming. No, she wasn't. She had a sensation of being adrift in a boat. She had been carried, half-asleep, from the sofa she'd slid down into. Papa had lifted her and put her head gently on his shoulder and brought her to her room.

No, he hadn't.

She pushed off the woven blankets and put her feet on the floor. It shocked her with cold. The memories were lying.

She wasn't in India anymore. And her father could no longer hold her in his arms.

The hurt shouldn't have sickened her. The loneliness before finding out had been bad enough. There should be a natural high-water mark to the pain a child should feel, and Meenu had learned this wasn't the case.

She couldn't see the comic books stacked on the floor by her bed anymore, or the hand-me-down Lord of the Rings posters. Meenu pulled her feet back up and curled into her pillow, fighting the sobs.

There was a sound in the flat of something, maybe a frying pan, or a mug, being set down, and then Meenu heard the door open. She curled deeper into the pillow and dragged the blanket-scarf over her damp face.

"Oh ace hiding job," chided the lady in her thick accent.

Meenu rolled over and pressed her face into the bed, not breathing, to hide her sobs. She struggled when Chloe pulled back the covers and pushed her back on her side.

"Back off!"

"Don't start," Chloe said.

"Leave me alone!"

"C'mon, kid. It's okay."

Meenu inchwormed until she pressed her forehead into her mattress, teeth gritted. "You're so lonely," she snapped at Chloe.

"What?"

"You're always lonely. You're just pretending. You're always looking at your stupid photo of miss Ross."

"Maybe," a grin snapped Chloe's moonlit face in two. "I like photography."

Meenu couldn't push down the laugh fast enough and coughed, flopping onto her bed.

"You have millions of stupid pictures everywhere!" she said, pointing an accusing finger. "You only look at hers."

"Maybe they're the good ones."

"You're such a bad liar."

Chloe sighed, and her big warm hand grasped Meenu's. "Everyone misses someone, love."

"You don't even know where she is."

"South Africa, likely. In her house," the woman rose from Meenu's bedside, half-turned to the door. "Go back to sleep. School night."

"What if she's dead."

"Oh, she'd hate that."

Another laugh tumbled from Meenu's stomach, unbidden, and Chloe patted her stocking feet before retreating from the room.

Meenu exhaled a sigh and pushed herself back on the mattress, looking at the sad blue of the moonlit square on the wall.

Someone had carried her from the sofa. Her head had rested on someone's not broad, but thin shoulder. To Chloe, Meenu weighed nothing, and Papa's old picture sat in their dining room, watching her continue in his stead.
