When Emily woke up, it was 7 pm the next day. She wasn’t alarmed, though. She knew she’d already spent Monday visiting Vange and her parents and Tuesday sleeping in her old room at her parents’ house. She and Dall had been up 24 hours straight by then, and they had needed to stay up another five hours in order to drive back to their trailer at the festival site.

“Dall?” she called out, hoping he was inside and could hear her.

“Aye?” Oh, his voice was coming from the shower.

“Let’s go see Vange.” She listened for his reply over the shower noises that she now noticed down the hall in their one bathroom. Instead, those noises stopped.

And then Dall came into the room, drying his hair. “Aye, well enough. Let us go see your best lass, then.” He smiled at her.

She smiled back, and things got interesting for a while.

Once they were both showered and dressed in normal clothes, Dall put his arm around Emily and she got out her phone and selected as a destination her parents’ garage at their current time of 8:27 pm Monday night. The night right after Vange blew up at Emily for not sharing their plans to come into town with her and the awkwardness of having to hear about it from her cousin Emilio.

The world went swirly.

Marking in the garage had been a good plan. No one saw them appear out of nowhere, and Dall and Emily left through the back door and walked out to the street and then down to the park. Emily got on one of the swings. Dall copied her and then looked pleasantly surprised when it held him.

Emily called her best friend.

“Hi Em.” Vange’s voice sounded sad, rather than mad.

“Vange. We’re at the park. Come on out.”

The line went dead.

Vange came running over. She chuckled. “OK, if you’re trying to make up after our fight today, you’re doing a lousy job. You did it again. You drove all the way out here and didn’t tell me you were coming.” But she was smiling. Just a little.

“Glad to see you, too, Vange. Look, I really am sorry—both about this morning and about being here without telling you before now.” Emily gestured for Dall to get his little notebook out of his pocket, and the pen.

He handed them to her, and while she was writing, he talked. “Aye, lass. I am truly sorry as well, for all the grief that you have suffered.”

Vange started a question with “What—”

But Dall must have made a gesture that stopped Vange from asking Emily what she was writing. Good.

Emily finished and then showed it to Vange: “I can’t tell you this secret; I just have to show you.”

“O … K?”

Now that she was sure Vange was paying attention, Emily wrote while she watched, “Take my hand, and don’t let go.”

Vange took Emily’s hand while Dall had his arm around Emily.

She got her phone out and let Vange watch her set it to take them back to their trailer at the current time.
