The merciless urgency to push these babies from her was now full upon Pio. The idea of it, the need for it consumed her.

In a brief moment of respite, Pio brought up an image of the Sea. A wild and powerful scene from her childhood . The shores of Falas, the coarsely pebbled, northern strand and the unrelenting advance and retreat of the waves and water.

White waves crashing loudly, one after the other, on the beach, and the roaring hiss of the water as it ran over the pebbles, pushing outward, as if the spirits of the waves and water sought escape from the confines of the Sea itself.

So clamorous and so vivid was this image that she could barely hear the voices of Angelica and Peony as they spoke to her . . .
