A story of an American living in Paris working in the embassy, receiving word of an American’s death, and a woman attending a conference. The woman’s daughter phones to plead for someone to stay with her mother’s dead body overnight — she wants someone to guide the mother’s ghost, afraid she’ll be lost roaming forever.
