There are sisters who grow apart the way cities do—slowly, by habit, until the map no longer matches the streets you remember. Allie and I were never those sisters. Five years sat between us like a polite guest who never quite left the room, but it never felt like a wall. When she was eleven and I was high school, newly licensed and still wanted her in the passenger seat. She asked better questions than most of the girls my age. She laughed at the right parts of movies. She had a way of leaning her head against my shoulder in the dark that made the house feel less like a place we were waiting to escape.
I used to tell myself it was just temperament. Allie had always been older than her birthday. Sweet, too—the kind of sweet that made people underestimate her. I could not compete with it. I stopped trying.
At the time this story begins I was nineteen and an undergrad at Georgetown, which was on the other side of the country. Nearly three thousand miles away from San Mateo. A budget that treated plane tickets like luxury goods. I came home once a year if I was lucky, twice if someone else paid. The rest of our lives happened in the thin weather of phone calls and email. I would sit on the fire escape with a mug of something instant and listen to her talk about senior year, about the ridiculous politics of the yearbook committee, about the way Dad still checked the locks twice after she started driving. I would tell her about seminars and the particular loneliness of a city that did not know my childhood nicknames. It was not nothing. It was also not enough.
Allie just started high school at fourteen, restless in the way people are when the next thing has not yet grown a shape. I had just ended the first relationship that had felt like it might become a life. Cathy worked at a record store downtown and kissed like she was trying to memorize a song. For a while I thought I had found the secret door. Then she told me, kindly and without much ceremony, that she had met a man and that whatever we had been was over. I did not become bitter. I did not swear off women. I simply stopped looking. Looking required a kind of hope I did not have spare change for.
I was lonely, though. That part I could not negotiate away.
When Allie said she wanted to visit, I said yes before she finished the sentence. The only thing she had asked our parents for the previous Christmas was airfare to my side of the country. They had wrapped the ticket in tissue paper like it was fragile. I cleared three days of class, then four, then told my advisor I had a family obligation and tried not to sound like I was inventing one. I made a list on the back of a syllabus: museums, a terrible tourist walk, the bookstore I liked, the diner that served pancakes at midnight. I bought extra coffee. I washed the sheets. I stood in the doorway of my bedroom and tried to remember whether the apartment looked like a place a person would want to stay.
On the day of her flight I took the Metro to the airport too early and then too late, which is how I always arrive at important things. I waited by the baggage carousel with my hands in my pockets and a stupid tightness in my throat. People came down the escalator in clumps. I scanned faces the way you do when you have not seen someone in a year and you are afraid the photograph in your head has gone out of date.
Then she was there.
My sister had always been pretty in the ordinary family way—good bones, good hair, the kind of face relatives called “bright.” The woman on the escalator was something else. Thick black hair pulled back from her face. White blouse, faded jeans, a duffel sliding off one shoulder. She had grown into herself the way some people do all at once, between Christmas and summer, while you are busy with other weather. She looked expensive without trying. She looked like someone I would have noticed in a bar and then talked myself out of approaching.
She saw me. The grin arrived first, huge and unguarded, and underneath it the girl I knew came back into her features—playful, a little shy about being looked at, delighted in a way that made my chest hurt.
“Sarah,” she said, and then she was in my arms.
She smelled like the same shampoo and airplane air and something warmer I did not have a name for. I held on longer than was reasonable.
“Omigod, sis,” I said into her hair. “When did you get so beautiful?”
She laughed against my shoulder. “I’m not that pretty. Not like you.”
“Don’t start.”
“I’m not starting. I’m stating a fact.”
We found a bench near the carousel and sat while the rest of the flight claimed its luggage. Twenty minutes of overlapping talk: Mom’s new obsession with sourdough, Dad’s back, the neighbor’s dog that still hated the mail carrier, my thesis advisor’s passive-aggressive emails. Allie tucked one foot under her thigh the way she always had. I kept looking at her mouth when she spoke and then looking away, as if I had been caught doing something unseemly. She was eighteen. She was my sister. She was also, inconveniently, the most vivid thing in the terminal.
Eventually we were the only ones left. Her two small suitcases circled with the stubbornness of abandoned planets. I grabbed one. She took the other. We hauled them out to the bus stop in the late afternoon heat and sat on a metal bench that burned through my jeans.
“You look tired,” she said.
“Graduate school is an expensive way to be tired.”
