“They seemed upset but … preoccupied.
We were in a tiny room in the back of the ship. It was called a Family Room and was designed for private contact with Earth if someone had news of a family catastrophe. (None of our private quarters had communicators that could reach Earth.) The walls were a kind of rosy color and the floor had soft beige carpet. Mom and I were sitting on a plush blue sofa and Dad was pacing back and forth in front of a small table where the communicator was embedded.
As Dad talked to Gram, he described the clothes Nita had been wearing and the mole she has on her left shoulder. Mom would shout out something irrelevant every now and then, like “Don’t forget she just had a haircut,” and then go back to frantically writing on her handheld. It was all very surreal.
“What are you doing?” I asked finally, not understanding why Mom was so concerned with her handheld and so not concerned with helping Dad give an accurate description of her missing daughter.
