Chapter Sixteen

“YOU’RE quiet tonight,” Dexter commented the following Friday. His hands were at ten and two on the steering wheel as they drove to the private airfield.

“Yeah,” she agreed, fingering the postcard in her hand. It had arrived at the theater early this afternoon. Just a few hours later and it would have missed her. If Sola weren’t so organized, the paper rectangle might not have reached her until Monday.

But the intern had pressed the postcard into Thel’s hand just as she was leaving with a careful, “I’m pretty sure this is for you. It’s addressed to a Thel. But the return address says Virginia. That’s where you’re from, right?”

Yes, that was exactly where she was from, and the woman who’d barely raised her had always been the queen of perfect dramatic timing.

“I was a struggling actress in one of my past lives, dear,” she once explained to a teenage Thel while they were walking in the woods near their house. “Always hungry for more lines, never getting the big role. Too bad for me, but lucky for you, oldest daughter. You’ve got your siren grandmother’s voice and my acting sensibility. You’ll be thanking us for that one day. ”

Thel hadn’t known what she meant back then, but then Bair had enrolled her in opera school, and she’d found herself at the top of her class. Certain to be a future opera star according to all of her teachers, and she’d understood why her mother had wanted credit ahead of time for passing on her past life acting gifts.

“Usually you’re asking questions about where you’re going this weekend by now,” Dexter said, drawing her eyes up from her mother’s postcard.

“I already know we’re going to San Francisco,” she answered.

“Oh, did Rustanov B tell you?” he asked, sounding surprised. Probably because it had never happened before.

“Not exactly…” she answered, and her eyes drifted back down to the postcard.

To the San Francisco address scrawled across it.

And the words written below, “Tell Trevor hello for me.”
