Half the Day is Night
“Paul was the admin assistant assigned to Mayla at Marincite Corp. He was a dark, small, neat young man. When she stepped off the sub from Julia on Monday morning, he was there, waiting in his dark red suit, holding a white wax paper bag with his breakfast of beignets. When he found out that she liked them, he started buying two for her on Monday mornings. Instead of “good morning,” Paul always said, “And the night?”
“Not bad,” she always said, feeling a little silly. Tourists thought everyone i...n Caribe talked that way, because that was the way they talked in vids like Horsemen. Tourists thought everybody in Caribe followed voudoun.
Paul fell into step beside her and La Merci dropped back a discreet two meters. “You remind me of my sister,” Paul said.
“How so?” she asked.
“Because you are tall and you walk like a man.”
She laughed and he shrugged, smiling a little. She didn’t know what to say, not so much because of Paul as because of the listening ears. La Merci never gave any sign she was eavesdropping, neither did Joe or Hermione.MoreLess
