May, 1936

"Conny, he's asking for you."

She blinked in the bright wash of morning light and looked up at Geoffrey. His face was pale, making the scar across his cheek look like a slight fold of skin.

Conny sat forward in the overstuffed chair. It had seemed the most comfortable chair in the house the night before, but now her back ached. She rubbed sleepers from her eyes. "What time is it?"

"A little past seven." He stepped back, hands in pockets. "He's been awake less than half and hour. The nurse is with him."

"How is he?"

"Not good."

Conny stood and her head swam. She remembered dreaming, and a half-real tingle in her abdomen. It startled her and she almost asked if William had been writing. But the images fled as soon as she tried to capture them, like ghosts.
