“No,” said Lee. “Please, can we wait for any…media?”
Markos scrutinized her. “Why would you…?” he said. Henarrowed his eyes and paused. Then he asked, “Are you a celebrity?”
“Of sorts,” said Lee.
Markos nodded but didn’t pry for more details, which Lee appreciated. They made arrangements for Markos to speak to the girls at a café in Plaka after school. Markos stood.
“If you think media attention would help find my sister…” Lee started.
Markos put his shoulders back. “Of course it would help,” he said.
Lee wanted to say she would do the press conference, she did. But she just couldn’t handle the flashing lights, the makeup, the transformation back into Lee Perkins, shining star. Not yet.
