Priya introduces her sister

William slept soundly, dreamed well. His first days of this ability had proven better than any prior. He pushed himself up in the bed, looking at the clock, it was 7:15, he expected Priya back anytime.

He was feeling much better today, clearly things were on the mend.

Priya walked in the room carrying two coffees and a small bag. She took out a blueberry muffin and put it on the table next to his bed.

“Good morning Mr. Hamilton, it’s good to see you this morning,” she said, smiling and putting the hot cup of coffee next to the bag. She was about to sit when her phone rang, William couldn’t see very well, but he seen an image of a young woman pop on the screen before she answered.

Priya had changed to jeans a frilly white blouse that seemed to accentuate her darker skin.

He couldn't make out what was said, but Priya answered in Hindi.

“main bas ek minat mein neeche aa jaoonga”

“shaant ho jao”, Priya continued

There was some angry muffled sounds.

Putting her hands over the phone, she said “It’s just my sister, she was picking me up.” Priya said.

“Hand me the phone,” William answered. She handed him the phone. A picture of a young woman was on the screen.

“Hi,” he said into the phone.

An angry voice returned, “Who is this?”

“My name is William, why don’t you join us up in my room? I’m in 619.”

“What, no, ….well maybe,” the voice returned hanging up suddenly.

“She hung up, but think she may be up here soon,” William told Priya.

“Her name is Leela, she’s my little sister and a fairly big pain in my ass,” Priya told him playfully.
