  “She said it would remind you.”

  I nodded. She gave me a hug before stepping into the Saab next to Jake.

  In the truck I buckled my belt and looked across at Nicky. “You okay?”

  “I'm okay. You think Mom is gonna be all right?”

  “I hope so, honey. We can come back to visit whenever you want.”

  The Saab lurched away. I pressed the accelerator to follow. Suddenly, as if it were the most natural act in the world, Nicole's good arm draped across the seat, her hand coming to rest against my shoulder. Surprise, Daddy? Welcome home? Passing from the shade of the hospital portico, I could almost think so.

  Nicole rolled her eyes and shook her head when I tuned the radio to an oldies station. The Vogues were in the midst of singing “Special Angel,” after all. The clean sky behind branches rushing past reminded us the season was new again, and for the first time I may have caught a glimpse of grace from a higher station, where eyes see earth more clearly and the hunter waits, her quarry known.
