Sitting on the futon, holding sleeping Margary in one arm, while showing Toby how to subtract with her other hand. “Mister 40? Can I borrow one of your 10’s?” she says. And then in a deeper voice, “Yes, certainly.”
Moriah struggled with the vignette at first. Her original draft was a list rather than a story. Then Raquel helper her by saying “Make it as if you are watching her and writing about what you see.” Then the story flowed out!
