“I noticed their hair first, long and uncombed. Then their jewelry catching the sun. The three of them were far enough away that I saw only the periphery of their features, but it didn’t matter-I knew they were different from everyone else in the park...These long-haired girls seemed to glide above all that was happening around them, tragic and separate. Like royalty in exile.”
