UNDER THE DON’S PROTECTION
They had two daughters: Amara (named after Mara), ten, fearless like her father, and Sofia, seven, thoughtful and watchful like her uncle Kai.
Kai had followed Anya’s path—medicine. He ran a permanent clinic on a larger atoll two hundred kilometers north, specializing in tropical diseases and maternal care. He had married a nurse named Temi from Lagos—steady, warm, with a smile that lit rooms. They had a son, Elias, twelve, who already sketched tide charts better than I ever did, and a daughter, Nia, nine, who collected shells the way Kai once had.
