Her father speaks to her only once before she leaves. He sounds tired, old even. Something troubles him. She wonders if it is the same thing which keeps her awake each night. She wonders if he fears for her as she does him.
Do you remember, he asks, do you remember the house in Haifa? You were so young then. Do you recall?
Yes.
I wonder if it still stands? And that is all he says. She has not the heart to tell him that it is gone, and the garden too, and that the soil is sown with blood.
