She watches me as I approach her. She’s expressionless, so it’s hard to read what she’s thinking. I have to keep things light like before. I have to be a dragonfly, skimming over the water but not touching it.

The first boy vanished without a trace, and with just as little fanfare. Even the second disappearance amounted to little more than a few passing remarks and another name skipped over in the classroom roll call.
