СКАЧАТЬ looked at him and laughed. She didn’t know what to say. Suddenly she felt joy come out of her. As if out of every pore. A joy she hadn’t felt for years, since when they were all children, back at home, before everything happened. It was a joy she felt she could trust, not a fake one, like a governmentale kneeling over a body telling her they would look into it. Which everyone there knew was just a pantalla, a sham.

      “Thank you!” she exclaimed.

      “Not me,” Mr. B said. “I’m just the hired hand. Her.” He pointed to Roxanne. “This is all her doing.”

      “Thank you both!” Lauritzia said, unable to hold herself in. She leaped up and hurled her arms around Harold and hugged him, taking him totally by surprise. And then Roxanne. A warm, deep, penetrating hug, as deeply as if Roxanne had brought Rosa back to life and her sister stood with her arms open in front of her.

      Never before had anyone stood up for her. Stood up against them. She had only seen the pall bearers and those who grieved. Tragedy and death. Now she had something she’d had only a few times in her life: a feeling of hope. The last time was when Rosa had told her that she was pregnant. She was in the United States and would have a boy, and there was hope for a new life for them. Away from all the bloodshed.

      That hope did not live long, but this one was real. One she could touch and count on.

      Roxanne said, “I don’t know if you’ll be able to remain with us when it’s over. Purely for your own safety.”

      “I understand.”

      “But we’ll set you up in a place where you’ll be safe. You can visit. You can get a job, or go back to school somewhere. Don’t be so quick to leave those books behind … you still might get that store.”

      Lauritzia couldn’t hold back from laughing.

      Roxanne squeezed her hand. “Maybe you’ll even find your father …”

      Lauritzia’s eyes filled up with tears. “A day ago I felt there was no light anywhere in my life … just terror, and I had to face it alone. Now, when I look at you, at you both, there is nothing for me but light. Excuse me …” She felt the tide of emotion rushing up inside her. “I’ll be right back,” Lauritzia said, rushing to the door.

      “Where are you going?” Roxanne asked.

      She was going to cry. But she didn’t want to show that to them. “I want to tell the kids!”
