“Dad reads her the Tales of Mr. Jeremy Fisher using a British accent; it’s the only storybook for which he uses the accent. Mom takes the cold facecloth off of Fiona’s forehead, thermometer from her mouth, and says scoot over, I’ll be sick with you, okay? That night, Dad isn’t allowed in her room and he knocks quietly and he says that he’s sorry if he scared her in the basement and he’s sorry about dinner and he’s making it right now and please open the door and come out, and he sounds watery, a...nd she’s not mad or scared (she is hungry) but tells him to go away. Sam is not allowed in her room but he comes in anyway and gets away with it and he smiles that smile she hates. She misses that smile terribly now for as much of a pain in the ass as he was as a child, he was a loyal, thoughtful, sensitive, if not melancholy, man. Sam says that there is the ghost of a girl named Wanda in her closet and no one knows what happened to her or how she got there because she’s always been there.MoreLessRead More Read Less
