Ana Luisa was planting tulip bulbs underneath the ruin of the willow tree when I got back from work. I wandered over to join her. Even though I knew David had returned overseas, I couldn’t seem to stop my eyes from jumping over to the front of the house anyway.

“Hi, Ruth. Did Vanessa make the rest of your day a misery?”

“No worse than usual. Well, a little bit worse, but I can handle it. How are you?”

“Oh, you know. I’m doing fine, thanks. Nothing to complain about. How can we not feel joy when the sun is shining and the sky is blue?”

Ana Luisa did not sound joyful. Her white smile was tinged with sorrow. I wondered if her sadness was because she hadn’t told Mr David how she felt about him before he left. I tried not to linger on the thought that maybe she had, and he didn’t return those feelings. I wanted David to be happy; to have someone to love, to come home to. That couldn’t be me, not for a long time. Probably not ever. And I refused to stand in his way, everywhere but in the secret recesses of my wild imaginings.
