Chapter 12

“Daddy, will the crocodiles eat me up?”

Antoine squeezed Zoé’s little hand and assured her that they wouldn’t.

He remembered Joséphine’s advice. “Be sure to spend some time alone with Zoé, one on one. Don’t let Hortense monopolize you.”

Shirley, Gary, and the girls had arrived the night before, exhausted from the trip and the heat, but excited at the thought of being in Kenya and seeing Croco Park, the lagoons, and the coral reefs.

Mylène was delighted to have company, and Antoine felt happy for the first time since moving to Kenya. He was happy to have his daughters with him, happy to have a family. Mylène and Hortense seemed to get along really well. Hortense promised to help sell her beauty products.

“I’ll do your makeup,” said Mylène, “and you can be a walking advertisement for the salon. But don’t get the Chinese men too turned on!”

Hortense curled her lip in disdain. “They’re too small,” she said. “I want a real man, with big muscles.”

Gary discreetly felt his biceps. He was doing fifty push-ups twice a day, morning and night, and Hortense noticed.

“Keep at it, beanpole,” she scoffed. “Maybe you’ll get lucky.”

Shirley scowled.
