““We have been discussing Jonathan Harker and Dracula, but by now you should also have met Lucy and Mina. We already heard from Lorena and Salma on this matter a couple of days ago, so I will ask the rest of you: What do you make of them?” No one says anything right away. In my peripheral vision, I see Salma’s head turn toward me, and I meet her gaze for the first time today. And even though our teacher was specifically not asking us, she volunteers an answer anyway. “I think they had a great friendship until Dracula came along.””
