Chapter 14: Hana's POV

Hana's POV

Dane was on the river until Thursday, and Signe had told me to come alone.

I stood on her porch on Saturday afternoon with a mug in my hand.

I had made it that week, a plain white one with a thumb rest, and I did not know why I had brought it.

She opened the door in a gray cardigan with her glasses pushed into her hair.

"What's that?" she said.

"For your desk," I said. "So you stop drinking out of the ugly ones."

She took it and turned it over and looked at the stamp on the bottom.

She was quiet for a moment, and then she put it on the hall table very carefully.

"Come in," she said.

Her bedroom was full of daylight.

It was the first time I had seen it with the lamp off.

The iron bed was made, and the quilt was white, and a long bar of sun lay across the pillows.

I stood at the foot of it and my hands would not stay still.

"Tonight you run it," Signe said behind me.

"It's two in the afternoon."

"Then today you run it."

I turned around.

She was standing against the closed door with her arms folded, and she looked tired and not at all in charge.

"I'm not doing the voice," I said. "I did the voice once. In my studio. With Dane."

"I remember," she said.

"That was easy. He wanted me to."

"And I don't?" she asked.

"You're the one who's always giving the orders," I said. "I don't know what you do when someone else does."
