AS EIDER APPROACHED the storage room during Free Play, she was half-afraid she’d find the door wide open, the fairytale book magically unearthed. Its pages glowing brightly.

But Eider found it under the floorboard, just where she’d left it. Dusty, but that wasn’t unusual. The desert always found its way inside.

She picked it up, relieved. Her fingers lingered over Cinderella and her pumpkin coach. Eider couldn’t remember the last time she’d opened the book—a few weeks ago, at least. Not since she’d stashed the housing-development pamphlet inside.

She had an urge to flip through it one last time.

She couldn’t bear to.

How to hide it? She considered wrapping the book in her jacket, but that would look almost as suspicious as carrying it openly. Finally, she stuffed it down the front of her overalls. The corners stuck out, but it was better than nothing.

Outside, Eider paused to make sure the coast was clear. Then she hurried up the rise, the fastest path to the date grove. She’d only made it halfway when the book slipped out the side of her overalls.

She tried not to yelp as it went bump-bump-bump down the slope, landing in a patch of creosote. The postcard had come loose—the rectangle paper with the desert-flower drink.
