"I'm sorry you're sad," I say quietly to Wanda, as I give her a big hug. She does look sad! It isn't like the way she usually looks. But lots of people are sad after yesterday, because they dreamed about sad or scary things, and I guess Miss Wanda did, too.

"We'd like the table by the window, please," I say, making sure to be very polite, and when Wanda and Dana meet, I make sure to be polite with that, too. "This is Miss Wanda. This is…a friend of my mother's. She likes to be called Dana." I think that's the right way to do it. No names, right?

"May I please have the white tea with roses in it? I like that one best," I explain to Dana.
