"WAKE UP," is the first thing I heard. She was still there, face softened by sleep, hair tousled.
"I'm awake."
"It'll be light soon. Time for you to go."
"Yeah."
She got off my lap, pulled her skirt down. Shook her hair loose. The sleep fled her eyes. She bent forward, face inches from mine. The witchy hiss was back. "Julio goes too."
I nodded.
