At the end of the day Rose and I went over to June's and took Sissy back. June acted like we were tearing her heart out of her chest.

"She'll be back in the morning," June said.

"First thing," Rose said.

June watched us walk back toward our house beside the hotel. "This isn't right," I said to Rose, Sissy fussing a little in my arms. "Leaving her with someone else, not paying her any attention."

"I feel sure Cecilia got more attention today than most children get in a lifetime."

"I just don't like it," I said.

She stopped in the snow, halfway between Saint Elizabeth's and our house. We looked at each other in the darkness. The stars behind her head looked like a decoration for Rose. "I'm tired," she said quietly.

And I didn't say, see there, I told you; and I didn't say, that's what you get; I said, come on then, let's get you home.
