Breathe, Shiloh. Just breathe. Relax.

I scooted forward and took a shaky sip of steaming green tea, its bitter, slightly fruity, earthy flavor reminding me of Japan. Which made my nerves relax a bit, inhaling memories of plum-blossom-strewn sidewalks and pulsing neon signs. A far cry from greasy chicken gizzards and deep-fried Pop-Tarts—which yes, I’d actually seen at a diner in town.

What I needed right now was to shake Staunton’s gritty dust off my Prada heels and feel the blast of a Japanese subway on my face. The noise of busy sidewalks and the chirp at the black-and-white crosswalk. The low hum of the JR train as it skimmed along the coast, salty sea breeze blowing my hair.

Going somewhere. Far away from cow-ridden western Virginia.

I grabbed the padded envelope and squinted at the address. Then I snatched up the Whatever-Bats CD case with a tissue and turned it over in my hand. Staring at the faded photo of the band members, one of whom boasted thick, stand-up hair like one of Mom’s spider ferns.

And I tore open my purse, rummaging through it for my international phone card.
