Right now she wasn’t. A quiet and at rest Lavi was a wonder to behold. My phone dinged. It was Melissa, who was sitting next to me. It read, “welc...me to the inner circle.” It took me a minute but I got it. Lavi was now willing to just be herself around me. This may sound stupid but I had to get up at that moment so that they didn’t hear my voice choking in my throat. To cover my absence I got us some cashews as snacks.We were flying first class thanks to our gifted tickets. It was silly to look. Afterwards we had lunch near my hotel, then came down to the village to walk around a little. Before heading back uptown we stopped at the same cafe’ for cappuccinos.

Unfortunately, his car had seemingly. ‘You could pitch your tent here if you want Seumais.’ I said, indicating a clear patch of ground on a slight rise just outside the kitchen window. I knew I should have been directing him further up the hill behind the house, but the words wouldn’t come. ‘Thanks, I think I will. I’ll try not to make too much noise, just give me a nudge if I start snoring too loud.’ Right at that moment, he gave me a look of such innocence that I couldn’t help but laugh. I went into my kitchen but left the door.
