Now a chill falls between us, which I have to pretend to ignore with every

fiber of my being.

“Who?” I say.

“He was a critic for the Siren.”

disappeared.”

“People write about me every day.”

“Did you speak to him at Oasis?”

resided inside my sculpture, on display for all to see.

Hawks is testing to see if I’ll correct him, to judge how closely I followed the

disappearance, and how well I know my own timeline.

exactly what he thinks about that.
