Once, not long after they came to live with Liza, Lorraine woke up to find Kathleen next to her in the bottom bunk, their arms wrapped around each other like long-lost relatives. Lorraine lay still and tried not to breathe. She couldn’t understand how they ended up like this, tangled together. She prodded Kathleen awake to ask her. Kathleen scrunched her eyebrows, as if she were trying to remember too.

“You were dreaming,” Kathleen finally said. “You were dreaming and saying funny things.”

“What things?”

“You were tossing and turning and calling for Mom.”

“No. I wasn’t.”

Kathleen shrugged. She loosened her grip around Lorraine’s stomach. “You don’t have to believe me. I was only trying to help.”

Lorraine took a deep breath. She told Kathleen what she thought. “Mom’s dead.”

“Don’t be stupid,” Kathleen snapped. “You’ll make it true if you believe that.”
