My heart's slamming against my chest, and it's not just that I'm holding her in my arms again, that I'm gazing down at her, her mouth only a breath from mine. It's that in this instant, she's me, back in Valencia. Opening herself to exploration. To curiosity. It's not just that for a moment she's sharing in my thrill of discovery. She's experiencing it. She understands.

She's communicating with them, by picking up the stories they left behind and adding her own words, asking her own questions. This is what I do â€� what exploration and archeology is â€� and in this moment, Mia's in it with me.”
