smiling　so　beautifully　that　my　heart　felt　like　it　was　going　to

swell　up　and　burst　through　my

chest—put　his　arm　around　my　shoulder　and　turned　to　face　my　grandmother。

Gran's　expression　surprised　me。　Instead　of　looking　horrified；　she　was　staring

at　me　sheepishly；　as　if

waiting　for　a　scolding。　And　she　was　standing　in　such　a　strange　position—one

arm　held　awkwardly　away

from　her　body；　stretched　out　and　then　curled　around　the　air。　Like　she　had　her

arm　around　someone　I

couldn't　see；　someone　invisible

Only　then；　as　I　looked　at　the　bigger　picture；　did　I　notice　the　huge　gilt　frame

that　enclosed　my

grandmother's　form。　Unprehending；　I　raised　the　hand　that　wasn't　wrapped

He　pressed　his　icy；　perfect　lips　against　my　wasted　cheek。

〃Happy　birthday；〃　he　whispered。

I　woke　with　a　start—my　eyelids　popping　open　wide—and　gasped。　Dull　gray

light；　the　familiar　light　of　an

overcast　morning；　took　the　place　of　the　blinding　sun　in　my　dream。

Just　a　dream；　I　told　myself。　It　was　only　a　dream。　I　took　a　deep　breath；　and

then　jumped　again　when

my　alarm　went　off。　The　little　calendar　in　the　corner　of　the　clock's　display

informed　me　that　today　was

September　thirteenth。

Only　a　dream；　but　pr
