    “I know you’re a demon. That’s why I’m worried.”

    “Oh, small potatoes. I won’t steal your soul, promise.”

    …want to go to New Orleans or Quebec?”

    “I don’t know if I want to make up my mind now,” Casiopea said.

    “Take it from me. Now is always the answer. Besides, do you have anything better to do? Mope around for a decade or two?”

    Why would you take me with you?” she asked.

    “For a lark. Also, I can’t read a map to save my life. Can you read maps?”

    “Of course,” she said. She had spent enough time contemplating Grandfather’s atlas and tracing routes with her fingertips.
