seventy. [Daughter's Gifts.]
Her parents name her Linda-Lee because doublenames are a tradition in his family: Mary-Elizabeth, Anne-Marie, Margaret-Rose. She will inherit her father’s small delicate nose and pale capable hands as well as his love of flowers and unfortunate tendency for secrets. From her mother, she is bound to have frizzy hair and wide eyes of indeterminate colour. [It is too early to tell if she’ll inherit anything else from Jaya; maybe she’ll be able to remember things that haven’t happened yet, maybe only those that shall never happen at all.]
She is a beautiful baby.
Her parents adore her, unconditionally, without question.
