Toni placed a second wide-angle lens into her gargantuan camera case and shut the lid, locking
both clasps with her thumbs. She glanced around her office to make sure she hadn’t overlooked
anything. It was imperative that she remembered all her equipment. She’d be gone for weeks with no
access to any gear she left behind.
“I don’t want you to go,” Birdie said, grabbing her hand and giving it a hard yank. Toni winced.
Birdie never meant to hurt; she simply didn’t realize how strong she was.
Rubbing her smarting elbow with her free hand, Toni said, “It’s only for a few weeks.” Four to
be exact, but Birdie didn’t deal well with change, and Toni figured it was best to understate her
absence. “You and Mom will have a great time without me.”
Birdie shook her head. “Who will read me a story?”
“Mom will.”
Birdie’s face scrunched into a pout. “She doesn’t do it the fun way.”
Toni tugged one of Birdie’s pigtails. She was nine, but emotionally and mentally she was closer
to five.
“Maybe you can read it to her, Buttercup. You know every word by heart.” Toni must have read
The Princess Bride to Birdie a thousand times. Her sister never grew bored with the tale. Toni, on the
other hand, had started making up weird voices and progressive changes to the story to keep from
going insane from the monotony.
“I will try.”
Toni smoothed a palm over Birdie’s cheek, pausing to rub at a smudge at the corner of her
mouth. “Don’t forget your chores. I won’t be there to remind you.”
“Feed the chickens.” Birdie smiled that heart-stealing, ear-to-ear grin of hers.
“Good. What else?”
Birdie pressed her lips together around the tip of her tongue and scrunched up her round face in
concentration. After a long moment, she said, “I can’t ’member.”
“What are you supposed to do when you can’t remember?”
Birdie’s face lit up, and she pulled a piece of paper out of the back pocket of her jeans. “My list!”
“That’s right.” Toni kissed Birdie’s forehead and hugged her tight. “You’ve got this, Buttercup.”
“How many days until you come home?”
“I gave you a calendar. It’s on your message board.”
“I’m supposed to put an X on each day until I is on the red square.”
“Until I
am
on the red square,” Toni corrected automatically. She came from a long line of
English majors, and she saw how their mother cringed every time Birdie used improper grammar.
Poor kid. “Only mark out one day each morning. Don’t cheat.” Toni made Birdie calendars for
birthdays and Christmas countdowns so she didn’t have to answer “How many days?” questions every
five minutes. Birdie often tried marking out extra days, thinking it would make the anticipated event
arrive sooner.
There was a knock on her door and it opened an instant later. Her mom poked her head into the
room. “Are you ready?”
