NOTES

~~
Rachel sat across from her mother in Rebecca's apartment. It looked (and smelled) exactly like she remembered. The window at the fire escape was still broken. Syringes were scattered on the counters.
"How are you holding up, amore mio?" Rebecca asked. She took a sip from her cup. She was drinking peppermint tea, the only thing different in the old apartment. Rebecca had never been a tea drinker before.
Rachel sighed. "I'm okay, I guess," she said. "I just..." Another sigh. "When Dad was alive, I hated him. Now he's gone, and I want him back. I feel crazy."
"It's okay to feel crazy," Rebecca said. She set her tea down and put a hand on Rachel's shoulder. "We all do, amore mio."
"I miss him," Rachel said. She cradled her head in her hands. "I miss him, Mama. I've missed you both so much..."
Rebecca walked over to her daughter and lifted her head. "There's a way you can have him back. Remember Dangria's ritual?"
Rachel's brow furrowed as she looked up at her mother. Then it clicked. Dangria's ritual. The way Lucius brought his lover back in the old myths.
"But does it work?" Rachel asked Rebecca almost frantically. She held the woman's hands. They didn't quite feel real. Almost like smoke.
Rebecca smiled, gripping Rachel's cheeks a bit tighter. "Of course it does," she said. "I wouldn't tell you to it if it didn't."
Rachel was silent for a moment. She could have him back. She could have her father back.
She could have her family.
"You can have him back," Rebecca said, seeming to speak Rachel's thoughts. "You can have your family."
She leaned down and kissed Rachel's forehead. "You can have both of us back."
With those words, Rebecca seemed to dissolve into mist. Rachel didn't care. Even dreaming, her mind was working overtime.
By the time she woke up, she was already forming a plan to bring back her parents.
