Giselle left, and Lana put the dishes in the sink. The phone rang, and she walked into the living room.

“Lana.” Her mother’s voice came down the line. “I’m glad you answered. I haven’t talked to you all week.”

“Is everything all right?” Lana asked.

“As good as it can be under the occupation. I started my Christmas shopping,” Tatiana said. “I know there’s a war, but that doesn’t mean we can’t give gifts. I found a beautiful pair of boots for you, but I wonder if it gets cold enough on the Riviera.”

Lana imagined her mother meeting some Russian on a street corner and exchanging a set of wine glasses for winter boots.

“You don’t need to get me anything. Keep them for yourself. My neighbor Giselle just returned from Paris and said the streets are covered in snow.”

“You mean rain,” Tatiana corrected. “I wish it would snow. There are never any taxis, and when I arrive home, I look like Mrs. Lippman’s dog after a bath.”

Lana and Tatiana chatted about Christmas, and then Lana hung up the phone. Her head throbbed, and she went into the bathroom for an aspirin.

She was certain Giselle had said it had snowed in Paris. She went back over their conversation, and something stirred in the back of her mind. Someone had said it was snowing. Captain Brunner, Berlin buried in snow.
