Portland, Oregon

“Welcome, Jeanette,” Eugenie heard herself say to the woman who shuffled over to her sign.

The words felt mechanical, though she tried not to sound like it.

The fleshy woman, who looked about fifty, was smiling uncontrollably. Her green eyes shined, and it made her look exquisite.

“Thank you. So glad to finally be here.” Jeanette touched a hand to her dark, curling hair, which was gently greying, and then back to her suitcase. She glanced toward where Rose was waiting, further off. “Is that her?”

Something about the woman put Eugenie at ease. She already loved her aunt, even though the awkwardness of their age difference would have bothered most.

If only Mark had taken to her more quickly. Then, things would be different, wouldn’t they?

No!

She couldn’t think about that right now. Now was Jeanette and Rose’s time.

Now was the time for Peter Wishart-Laurent’s dreams and prayers to come true, even if he couldn’t be here this very minute.

“Yes, it is. Would you like me to introduce you, or would…”

Rose stood stock still on the sidewalk as the Yellow Line MAX whipped back into gear and slid past the station. People were milling all around – transients, business people and many things in between. Some had suitcases, like Jeanette, others briefcases, others backpacks, and still others were empty handed.

The girl looked pretty, but forlorn, with her new haircut and a set of clothes Paloma had given her earlier that day so she’d have something especially nice to wear when she met Jeanette.

It had taken Paloma several hours to make, but the effect was stunning: silky slacks the same oceanic shade as Rose’s eyes, and a crisp cotton blouse, white, with eyelet edging threaded through with the same silky fabric that curved into a smile of rounded neckline and faux-wrap waist.

She was beautiful… whether she knew and realized it or not.
