Something was draped across Dad's outstretched arms. A deer? A fawn that was injured? It was sprawled and long-legged, something that has been caught in a poacher's trap maybe. A mistake. So this is where Dad had been all this time: in the woods and cutting this creature free. I breathed out slowly, squinted at the mist that hovered around Dad like a ghost. I took my hand from my bedroom window, leaving the memory of my skin on the glass. Then I raced down the stairs, through the hall, and into the kitchen out back. Throwing open the door to the garden, I waited for him there."
