The rolls were still good, even cool; soft, and with the good taste of wheat and butter. They spread the plates out on the low table in front of the longest couch, and sat on the floor to eat. Natividad had thought it would be too much food when the woman had loaded the tray, but she really was starving now; working magic always made her hungry. Now the heaping plates and bowls looked just right.

The rolls were good with the ham. The potato salad was sharp with mustard, more than she would have put in. The chicken was not actually bad, though it would have been better shredded, folded into tortillas with queso and a tomatillo salsa. Natividad liked the berry pies, and tried both kinds, recognizing neither.

“Blueberry and raspberry,” Justin told her. “You didn’t have them in Mexico, I guess. You never bought them, though?”

“Not in Hualahuises. Not these kinds. Maybe in the market in Monterrey there would be berries like these.” Natividad tasted one of the pies again, and then the other. “I like the raspberry best,” she decided, and then hastily handed her plate to Justin—he took it, startled—and jumped to her feet, looking around for Ezekiel’s silver knife—she had put it somewhere, where had she put it—something was coming, she could feel it, something was almost here—

Keziah flowed through the largest window in half-human form, claws raking vivid marks through the paint on the windowsill, and came to her feet.
