She had told herself that she would see the Wongs by 9:30, then 9:40, then 9:50. Now, it was past eleven o’clock and there was still no sign of them. She’d bitten her fingernails so short, two of them had started bleeding.In between chanting healing words for her arm and fingers and pacing from one end of the terminal to the other, she would stand still. As people swept by, oblivious to her distress, Hong Mei tried over and over for new insights.

Her heart raced when she saw they were alone and walking together away from the ferry terminal. Where were they going? She moved quickly to follow them.

Under normal circumstances, Hong Mei would jump at the chance to order some chicken nuggets and fries.
