One day to launch. Lili calls me and I can hear the smile straining her mouth over the phone.

I can’t believe it, she says, over and over. I can’t believe it’s tomorrow. Is it bad to be so excited? So many things are happening here.

I assure her that it isn’t.

In case anything happens while I’m gone—

Nothing will happen, I say. You’ll be back in a few weeks. Don’t worry.

Okay. Okay. I have to go. I need to call Mama before I leave. I love you.

I love you, too, I say. Have a good trip.

We hang up. I can’t remember where she’s going, but I think it’s far.
