You are Eve, crossing from England after your brother Jack's death to see the nephew he left behind. His widow, Cicely, meets you with an unguarded kiss and a fact she saves for the carriage: she remarried six months ago, and her new husband is away in South America. At Romney your small nephew touches your face as if he already knows you, and grief starts hardening into a claim you have not spoken aloud yet.
