When we get home, Marisa is sitting on the front steps of her house. She’s holding a coloring book but not actually coloring in it, more sort of staring off into space and humming a top-forty tune to herself. Do they have TRL in Puerto Rico? She jumps up when she sees us. She hugs Lucy, whose maternal instincts kick in as she squeezes Marisa back. I guess it’s from all of those years as de facto caretaker. Max and I are nothing like Lucy and her sisters. I can’t remember the last time we hugged each other.

Marisa doesn’t hug me. Rather, once she’s disengaged from her embrace with Lucy, she looks me up and down. “You got tan,” she says.

“Yup.” I nod.

“You look like you had a good day.”

For a moment she looks like she’s considering hugging me. I stiffen. The moment passes.

And she’s right, of course. Just as usual. It was a pretty good day.
