"Reckon we all three ovvus knew each other, somehow."
I look at Syl thoughtfully, and then down at Tess.
"Are you cold?" I ask her. I wish I remember how I knew her. "I remember your laugh," I say. She looks so serious now.
The older woman asks me where I'm from, and the girl with a blank face adds another question.
"I was blown here," I say. "It sounds strange, I know. I live - lived - in the forest, and a girl came. She had a wolf hidden inside her, and she blew my house down, and I was blown here..." I push back my wet hair. "And Syl saved me," I say, nodding to her. I don't mention that she was a seal then. "I'm Kate," I add. I've never kept my name hidden; I don't think it's got any secret power.
