It takes ten seconds to swoop up her belongings and drop them into her Samsonite. A sense of light-headedness overtakes her. She is leaving another home again. Another family. A shaking starts at her ankles and ripples through her spine like a storm trying to pull a lamppost down. In two steps she is sitting on the bed. Alex gives her a look. “Get up.”

Nicola is also packing when Sophie knocks to says her good-byes.

“You’re leaving?”

“Ah, principessa, you depart now? My sister, she call me again.”

“If you need a ride down to the pier, Alex and I can wait for you.”

“No. No, do not wait for me. Buon viaggio, bella, ah?” She crosses the room to look into Sophie’s eyes, holds her face in her hands and kisses each cheek. Sophie smiles and finds she cannot hate Nicola. That, in fact, it pains her to say good-bye to this woman who has brushed her hair each evening.
