“That’s sort of like a grandmother, isn’t it?”
“Yes.”
“Can I call you Granny?”
“Not if you want to keep your teeth.”
She laughed like a little silver bell. The sun rolled above the horizon, shining on us.
Julie looked thoughtful for a moment, then said, “She’s his grandmother too. Should we tell him? Can we take him with us to Mishmar to visit her?”
“Maybe,” I said.
The boy would need to meet his grandmother at some point. But right now, he had his hands full and I doubted his wife would appreciate us dragging him off on family business.
It wasn’t so bad to have a granddaughter, I decided. I’d never had one before, and this one brimmed with magic.
There was so much I could teach her.
