NORTH SHORE

NARCISSUS DAY SPA

MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 6TH

11:47 A.M.

“All aPods must be powered down during your spa visit. Namaste,” a recording of Bee’s voice said when her daughter arrived in waiting room. As always, Charlie did what her mother asked and powered off.

“Thank you,” the recording said.

Waiting for the others, Charlie sat surrounded by a representation of Australia’s Great Barrier Reef, feeling more sunken than the layers of coral beneath her gladiators. Nudibranches, sea anemones, clown fish, sea turtles, and hundreds of other psychedelic-colored creatures lived under the glass floor and behind the walls. The sounds of lapping waves surrounded Charlie, making her seasick. The coconut-scented air did nothing to settle her roiling stomach. Old memories of Darwin on the beach mixed with new ones of him and Allie J couldn’t be exhaled away. Amnesia was the only cure.

Suddenly her aPod beeped. Strange. She could have sworn she turned it off.

SHIRA: TICK… TICK… TICK… IT’S ALMOST NOON!
