“What was on the other side of the door, Uncle Wink.” Asked Millie.
Venus was still burning through the darkening parchment, above the luminescent breakers in the ocean below. The wild boar their cousin David shot, was on the barbeque.
“What door, Mil?”
“The door at the airport.” Sam chimed in.
“Oh, that one.” He said. “Many things were waiting behind that door, Sam. Wild bees and frogs, camels and smoking gorillas, palaces and mountains and caves, and coconut groves and desert kingdoms.”
“I know what else was behind the airport door.” She said.
“What?” Asked Sam. Millie squirmed, like Millie squirms.
“Auntie Robbie.” She said, now with her hands on her hips. They both looked at Uncle Wink for affirmation.
He smiled, and closed an eye.
