Chapter 17

Willow

Two weeks later, Willow slipped her hand through Ibrahim’s, guiding him through the graveyard. They wore casual clothes: him in a pair of jeans and a T-shirt (which looked just as good on him as his usual tailored suits), and her in a light summer dress. Houston heat beat down on their shoulders, just a bit less intense than the heat in Rebai.

“I heard from my mother this morning,” Ibrahim said as they walked softly between the rows of graves, Willow guiding him. “She said that they’ll have three empty chairs at the wedding. One for my father, one for my brother. And, of course, one for Paul.”

Willow squeezed his hand, feeling tears glistening in her eyes.

“I used to play house with Paul. I’d pretend to marry one doll or another, and he’d be waiting in the wings, telling me not to get cold feet. But, of course, our favorite part of those silly ceremonies was the end: when I would play whatever cassette I was obsessed with at the time and we would dance and dance. And then, of course, we’d tell our mother that we needed cake. We’d smash it into each other’s faces, cackling. I always expected that he would be at my actual wedding…”

“In a way, he will be,” Ibrahim said, squeezing her hand back.

They arrived at the grave moments later, staring down at the engraving, the words surrounded by drawings of birds and animals.

Here lies Paul Hart

Brother, son and shining star

Keep on laughing, sweetheart
