She disappears onto the dance floor. I lean back to look up at the stars.

This will be Orve's second summer-in-residence with Grandma. She has a long-held summer tradition of hosting fledgling artists from all parts of the globe-they teach her technique in exchange for sumptuous room and board. "You'll find something-I have faith."

"Come on," he says softly, taking my hand and leading me over to the stone balustrade overlooking the park. "I think your family rocks." "Believe it or not, I can't complain," I say, placing my arms around him as we look out across the city. "I'm going to miss you so much," he says, giving me a squeeze. "Sure you are.

Just me, missing you, and a whole lot of political prisoners with grievances." I turn my head and reach up on my tiptoes to kiss him. "Those political prisoners, whine, whine, whine," I murmur.

I'm not going to the Riviera-I'm going to stinky little Nantucket." I smack my hand on top of the railing. "Shit. I forgot to check my messages!" He rolls his eyes. "Nan-" "Wait, wait, wait-it'll only take me two minutes. ugg bailey button I just have to call my machine and find out what time they're picking me up from the ferry tomorrow. Don't move, I'll be right back!" I go into Grandma's bedroom to use the salmon-pink Princess phone on the night table, moving aside a few of her needlepoint pillows to sit on the sateen bedspread. As I punch the answering-machine code into the keypad the soft light of the room reminds me of sleep-overs from my childhood when she would leave the lamps on until I fell asleep. Mrs. X's voice comes through like ice cubes dropped down the back of my dress. "Oh, Nanny, good news-our friends the Horners are flying up tomorrow at nine and have graciously offered to let you come along. So you'll be in Nantucket by nine-thirty in the morning.

"Your machine cut me off. I'll need you to stop by while you're out and about and pick up an article I've left with James for you on Lyme disease. Horrible. Also, I'll need you to find deer-tick repellent suitable for a four-year-old and make sure it's hypoallergenic, so it won't irritate his skin. And I would appreciate it if you could go to Polo and pick up six pairs of knee-high cotton socks, white.
