“a cheerful voice sings from behind me. I back out of the refrigerator, a strawberry yogurt and an apple in my hands, and shut the door with my hip. “You talking to me?” I say. “Of course!” Milan smiles. “It’s a nice morning, isn’t it?” she asks. She pulls the refrigerator door back open and roots around inside for her soy milk. I’m still standing in the middle of the kitchen, shocked that Milan is being, well, pleasant. “Um, yeah. Seems like a good morning.” I slip the food into my backpack and... zip it closed. “You’re in a better mood,” I add. Milan spins around. “You know, I really am. I like it here. You have a nice town.” Wow! What a change. A lot different from what she said when she first got here. I smile. “Yeah, it is. It’s a great town.” “Back home,” she continues, “people never would have believed the truth about me and that whole stupid rumor. But here? Everyone believes me. It’s refreshing.” I smile. She thinks everyone believes her because she said so.MoreLessRead More Read Less
