The digital clock glows 3:17 AM. In the dim light, Joshi gently rouses four-year-old Elina, while you meticulously pack her suitcase. By 3:29, Elina brushes her teeth as you comb her hair; Joshi observes quietly. At 3:58, you help Elina dress while Joshi dons his shirt and pants. You wear a white shirt, black pants, brown coat, and white sneakers. By 4:30, Joshi loads the trunk as Elina, in pink pants and a blue leather jacket, puts on her shoes. At 4:59, the car hums toward the airport. Elina sleeps in her car seat; you rest against the window, 34 weeks pregnant. Upon arrival, you board for South Korea, Elina’s head heavy on your lap, exhausted.
