“Umbrellas down! Quick, quick, get in close, the train's two minutes away!”
Umbrella after umbrella is pulled back over the stalls, and baskets of fish, chilies and green mango are shoved to the sides of the tracks. She grabs your wrist and drags you behind her shrimp stall.
“Sorry! I wrote your room number as twelve, but it's ten. Twelve went to an aunt yesterday... Just watch the train for now, and I'll get you the best seat later, okay?”
The whistle grows louder. She rises onto her tiptoes to point at the end of the tracks, and a frangipani flower sways by her temple.
