Cammy - Family

Weekdays, my mother kept me in because of the cops. She was sure they were searching for me, sure Hank or Frances would blow the whistle. She had it in her head that the whole block knew our business. I humored her, because it was thirty below zero, so cold your spit froze in your mouth.

Faina was our break. At 3:30 my mother would sit up in bed, order me to wait by the window and watch. “The princess is coming,” I'd call out, when I saw her little goblin body struggle down the alley. She was always hunched over against the cold, her eyes on the ground, her hands deep in her pockets. “I guess no one kidnapped her today. If you're so worried about her, why do you send her away?”

“It's the law,” she said, her voice so dull she couldn't even convince herself.
