‘We need to speak, sis,’ he whispered in Yanin’s ear. She was still sitting round the table with the seasonal workers, though they were all much drunker than they had been when he had last seen them. He had waited until Dana had slipped off to the bathroom before approaching.

‘Here to apologise, are you?’ she slurred.

‘If it’ll make you happy, yes. But you need to listen. I’ve just been offered a job.’

‘Oh yeah? Good for you. Doing what? Washing dishes? Cleaning toilets?’

‘We need to talk alone.’

She groaned. ‘I’m too drunk to move. Just tell me now.’

He glanced around the table. No one seemed to be listening, but his fear of Sable kept his tongue in check.

‘Just meet me tomorrow at dawn,’ he said.

‘Dawn? No way, I was going to sleep in tomorrow, maybe get up about noon.’

He frowned, then leaned in close to her. ‘Promise me. It’s important. I might have found someone who can help get our family out of Arakhanah.’

The colour drained from Yanin’s face, and she seemed to sober up in seconds.

He stood. ‘Out here at dawn, okay?’

She nodded, staring at him as he turned to walk away. He reached into the pouch inside his pocket and threw a handful of gold coins onto the table. ‘Happy birthday, sis.’
