“What are you now?”
“Honestly, I’m not exactly sure,” Lizbet said.
“I understand that’s a common puzzlement among mortals,” Juliana said. “My sympathies.”
“It’s not! It’s real. It’s true as light and air, as the sun and the earth. Lizbet is my friend!” She clutched at her chest. “When Lizbet is with me, it hurts, right here. That’s how I know it’s real.”
