It was Mali who brought it up.
Of course it was Mali. Dewi Luna had been thinking about it for three months — since Tara had arrived and the condition Mali had set in the lamplight of the accounts desk in Ayutthaya had become something she thought about daily and said nothing about, because it was Mali’s condition to raise and Dewi Luna had learned to trust Mali’s timing on everything.
Mali had good timing. She always had good timing.
It was a Sunday. Tara four months old, sitting up with assistance and opinions about everything, the Batavia compound settled into its rhythm, the trading post doing well, the bougainvillea along the back wall having committed fully to its new location.
They were in the garden after dinner — Pieter with Tara on his knee, Tara examining his face with the focused gravity she brought to all investigations, Dewi Luna and Mali on the low wall with their tea — when Mali set down her cup and said:
“I think it’s time.”
Pieter looked up. Dewi Luna went still.
“Time,” Pieter said.
Mali looked at Dewi Luna. “You’ve been thinking about it for months,” she said. “I’ve seen it on your face.”
Dewi Luna opened her mouth. Closed it. Then — “Was I obvious?”
“To me,” Mali said. “Yes.”
Dewi Luna looked at her for a moment. Then she laughed — that warm genuine laugh — and shook her head. “I didn’t want to push.”
“I know,” Mali said. “That’s why I’m saying it.” She looked at Pieter. “The condition stands. Whatever comes, it’s ours equally. Both of ours.”
“Both of ours,” Pieter said. No hesitation.
Mali picked up her tea. “Good,” she said. “That’s settled then.”
Tara grabbed Pieter’s finger and held on and the garden went about its evening business entirely indifferent to the fact that something significant had just been decided in it.
Dewi Luna came to him that night.
Not at two in the morning this time. Early — before the house was fully asleep, the lamps still lit, the city still going about its business outside. She came to his room and stood in the doorway and looked at him with those dark eyes and an expression that was different from her usual fire.
Not less warm. Not less certain. Just — something underneath the fire that was quieter and deeper and more serious than desire alone.
He saw it immediately. He always read her clearly.
“Come in,” he said.
She came in and sat on the edge of the bed and looked at her hands for a moment — which was so unlike her, so entirely un-Dewi-Luna, that he gave it the full attention it deserved.
“I want you to know,” she said, “what this means to me.” She looked up. “Not just the baby. All of it. What Mali did. What you did. What this family is.” She paused. “I came out of that harem with nothing. Two bundles and a carved deity and nowhere to go. And now—”
She stopped.
He waited.
“And now I have everything,” she said. Simply. Completely. The way Dewi Luna said things when she meant them entirely.
He looked at her for a long moment.
“Dewi Luna,” he said.
“Yes.”
“You didn’t come into this family with nothing,” he said. “You brought yourself. That was everything we needed.”
She looked at him. Something moved through her face that she didn’t try to manage or compose. She let it be there completely.
Then she reached for him.
