Every few months, Anna sends a call request to her sister back on New Britain. When the children were small and Anna was busier, they sometimes went nearly a year without talking directly to one another; but now that the boys are gone, Anna's days are considerably emptier, and the calls have taken on a steady, regular pace.
Anna doesn't have friends, not as such, and so she doesn't speak much to anyone outside the household. The calls with Marguel are, therefore, usually a bright spot in her schedule, and Marguel most always finds her cheerful when she answers. (Or what passes for "cheerful" with Anna, anyway.) But this call seems different right off the bat -- for one thing, it's a couple of weeks ahead of schedule, and for another, Anna isn't smiling when the image comes up.
