It was the feel of her presence in my room that woke me—again. I rolled
over in bed and squinted at the clock on my nightstand. “What time is it?”
My voice slurred. The blurry numbers came into focus. Two thirty-three.
“Two thirty-three? Don’t you ever sleep?”
She didn’t respond.

I scooted my pillow against the headboard to sit up, see what she was
doing. “What is that?” I asked.
“Like it?” She shimmied in front of the mirror. The layered fringe on the
dress she was wearing swayed in waves. “It’s an old flapper dress I found at
Goodwill,” she said. In her stockinged feet, she performed a little
Charleston for me. “It’s vintage. Totally retro. Don’t you think? I’m
wearing this baby to prom.”
I snorted. Her eyes met mine in the mirror and sobered me fast. She
couldn’t be serious.

Examining the length of herself, she hooked her long hair over her ears
and wiggled her hips again. She’d chosen the blonde wig tonight. It wasn’t
her favorite, since she thought it made her look cheap. Like a slut. It did go
well with the red dress, though. She caught me looking at her and smiled.
“I’m going to run for prom queen, too.”
I burst into laughter, then clapped a hand over my mouth to smother the
sound. Wouldn’t want to wake the parental units upstairs.
She wasn’t laughing.

She was joking. Wasn’t she? “Lia —”
“Luna,” she said. “I’ve taken the name Luna.” Her eyes fixed on mine.
To gauge my reaction, I guess. Or seek my approval. What did it matter
what I thought?

“Why change?” I yawned. “You’ve always been —”
“Lia’s too close. Lia Marie. It’s just too close.” She crossed my
bedroom, blazing a trail through the layer of clothes and other crap on my
floor. As she passed under the window, she stopped and pivoted. The moon
cast an eerie glow through my basement window. A spotlight. A spray of
luminescent beams.

“Luna,” she repeated softly, more to herself than me. “Appropriate,
wouldn’t you say? A girl who can only be seen by moonlight?”
Exhaustion overwhelmed me suddenly. Or my weariness of it all. “Go to
bed, Luna.” I snuggled down into my comforter and punched my pillow,
willing myself back to sleep. It’d take me hours to drift off again, especially
if she stayed to do her makeup. And she would.
I studied her through a slit eye. Something was different. A change had
come over her. Nothing physical. More a shift in her cosmos—or maybe a
crack.

“I can see your bra straps,” I told her. “You need to buy a strapless.”
“Really?” She twisted her head to peer over her shoulder. “Do you have
one?”
