“Tasmyn, I’d like to show you something.”

Ms. Lacusta sat in her usual spot across the desk from me. Her dark eyes were as inscrutable as her thoughts, but she had seemed distracted from the moment I’d entered the room.

I had spent the morning slogging through weekend hangover, an unhappy mixture of grumpiness and sleepiness. As a result, I wasn’t nearly as anxious as usual when it was time to see Ms. Lacusta. I was too numb.

But now my curiosity was piqued. I had expected to hear more of her story, to learn what had happened in the days after the loss of her baby daughter. Instead, she had quizzed me absently about my weekend. Without quite meeting my eyes, she asked how I had celebrated my birthday.

“How did you know it was my birthday?” I demanded, startled.

“I think you’ll find that there are few coincidences in this world. I simply happened to be aware of the date.” It was an answer that made very little sense to me, and I was still frowning in consternation when she spoke again.

“Tasmyn, I’d like to show you something.” Without waiting for me to respond, she tugged at a thick silver chain that hung around her neck. When she pulled it from beneath her red blouse, I saw a thin silver disc was on the chain. There was some sort of script inscribed on the circle.

“I wear this always,” Ms. Lacusta said softly, gazing at the necklace as it lay in the palm of her hand. “It is very meaningful to me, and thus it holds power.” She moved her hand closer to me so that I could read the inscription. It read Sacru Pereche A Unui Lucru.

“It’s very pretty,” I ventured. “Are those words in Romanian?”

“Yes.” She let the pendant drop so that it swung gently back to lie on the silk of her blouse. “Those words mean ‘sacred twin’.”

I furrowed my brow again. “Twin? Are you... did you have a twin sister? Or brother?”

“No. I was an only child. But this involves the rest of the story.”

I settled back in my chair and crossed my arms, prepared to listen. Ms. Lacusta laughed.

“Tasmyn, you delight me. The more relaxed you become around me, the more I am able to know the real you. It is truly a pleasure.”

I raised my eyebrows but said nothing. She sighed and shook her head.

“And so we begin. You’ll remember that when we left the story, the elders and I were in despair, mourning the loss of my daughter. I myself was at loose ends. My future was gone, all the plans I had made were dashed.

“And then one day, ghicitor, the seer, she came to me. She was agitated, excited, and she was talking around and around in circles. Finally I sent for my aunts, and between us, we worked out what she was saying.

“She told me that all was not lost. She said that although my daughter was beyond us, there was another... a child who was her sacru pereche a unui lucru.
