The camera crew says good night and the rest of us make our way back to the Lane’s End. Dad and Findley are deep in conversation, Jacob is whistling the theme song of some cartoon I can’t place, and Mom has her head tipped back to enjoy the summer air. The moon is high.

The night is crisp and clear and perfect, and I snap photos of the winding streets, the amber streetlights. Even though I’m not in the Veil, there really is something magical about this city.

We’re at the top of the Royal Mile when I hear the song.

It echoes up the road, and at first I think it’s coming from a street performer or a bagpiper. But the street is empty, dark. And the sound is crystal clear.

It is a woman singing.

Her voice snags in my head like a hook, slowing my steps. I know that song. Or rather, I know the voice of the person singing it. Because it’s not a person at all. I can picture her red cloak, her black curls, her outstretched hand. I stop walking and turn in a circle, searching for the song. It’s so close. I want to find it.

I need to find it.

“Do you hear that?” I whisper. But no one else seems to notice the singing, not even Jacob, who looks at me like I’ve lost my mind. I crane my head, listen, listen, but before I can find the source of the melody, it’s gone.

I don’t hear anything but wind.
