Summary
She tossed another petal. He could almost hear the familiar chant in his head, sung in their youngest’s lilting voice. He loves me. He loves me not.
Clea had always considered herself too mature for such romanticisms, but Alicia had been particularly fond of the game. He tipped his head towards the mangled rose in her lap. “Alicia always used daisies.”
“Our daughter is correct—it should be daisies.” Aline plucked and tossed another piece of the rose. She sighed, staring out over the water. “I suppose I needed more petals.”

Summary
“The other paintings made you feel nice,” Maman’s mouth curves around the word like it’s an insult. “What do these make you feel?”
There is a sketch of Maman—decades younger—sipping coffee in a cafe. Another sketch of Papa, robe open at the chest, settled by the fire with Monoco. Papa in profile; Maman in a sunhat in the garden. Papa glaring, Clea set on one hip, Verso on the other. Maman, asleep with Alicia nestled against her breasts. Hundreds of little moments committed to paper, almost thoughtlessly, none of the pomp or circumstance of their paintings.
“Loved,” Alicia murmurs.
(Aline is cleaning out the family's art. Alicia stumbles across a collection and wonders why it's locked away.)
