These Dreams of You

~ ~ ~

Viv receives another email that is both exciting and disconcerting. Hello Viv, it reads, I am writing to alert you in regards to the search for Zema’s mother that the trail of the woman in Oromia has led to nothing but that I believe I draw closer to the other woman who is indicated to originally be from Czechoslovakia or Poland or Germany — perhaps you might contact the aunt and grandmother to see if at least they will confirm this? — and now may be here in Addis closer than we ever suspected, within a mere few kilometers of Zema’s orphanage. I hope to deliver good news soon.
