Take a nap if you’d like one.

Supper will be served on the terrace at dusk.

There’s a soft tap on the bedroom door. My heart jumps, thinking maybe it’s Hannah. I wrap the towel around my waist, puff out my chest, and open the door. Jimmy’s standing there.

“Hey, Jimmy. What’s up?”

He hands me a note.

“What’s this say?”

“It just says we’re having dinner on the terrace.”

“Oh,” he says, nodding. “Ya look different.”

“I took a bath. You should too, it feels great.”

“Yeah, okay.”

“I’m gonna rest,” I say, feeling very drowsy now.

“Sure,” he says. “Okay, I’ll see ya for dinner then.”

As soon as I shut the door, there’s another knock.

“What is it, Jimmy?” I ask, opening it again.

“I gotta go.”

“You’re leaving?”

“No, I gotta go shishi.”

“Oh,” I say, chuckling. “Just use the toilet.”

“Which one’s the toilet?”

I invite him in and show him the toilet and how to flush it. He nods, seeming to understand, but looking uncomfortable.

“How do ya know all this stuff?” he asks.

“I grew up with plumbing.”

“So ya’ll jus’ shishi in yer houses?”

“Guess I never thought of it like that,” I say, shaking my head as I walk him to the door and see him out.

The bedding smells of lavender, the pillows smell of pine, and the sheets are warmed from the sun filtering into the quiet room. I’m comfortably full, I’m clean. I feel as if I’m floating in some fantastic fantasy as I close my eyes and picture Hannah’s flowing red hair and her perfect angel face.

I fall asleep and I do not dream.
