My twin sister Callie and I were driving in a hard rain to meet her husband at the local airstrip when a detour sign where I didnāt expect one sent us skidding onto a back road. The road was high crowned, more so than any I remembered, and it wound and twisted over hills and into narrow valleys that I couldnāt recall being anywhere near the strip. I really had to concentrate on my driving.
"Rod," said Callie, "this is kinda weird, isnāt it? The night, the rain, that funny detour sign...us together...?"

I apologized to the three people inside, "We donāt mean to bother you, āf youāre waitinā for someone. Can you tell us where this road ends up?"
The golden-skinned woman smiled; she looked to be in her thirties, but the two dark little girls just looked at us. Strange eyes glistened. The pretty golden one said, smiling broadly,
"It ends here, pet. Weāve been waiting for a pair just like you to enter our parlor."
The tone and smile were perfectly gentle, but her words made Calā jerk her hand from mine and start back. She must have fumbled for the door handle, for she whispered, shakily,
