“Will there be a third?”
“We will know soon.”
Esperanza looked at her.
“You already know.”
Paloma paused.
“What makes you say that?”
“The way you looked when you entered.”
“That is not a medical sign.”
“No. It is a human one.”
The doctor placed the test aside and met her gaze.
“You have become more observant.”
“I have had reason to.”
Mother Caridad turned from the window.
“Esperanza, is there something you wish to tell us?”
The young nun folded her hands.
“I remember pieces of things.”
Doctor Paloma went still.
