The Walk
Page 21
Beth was on her knees in front of him, her lovely face, her adorable band of freckles, exactly as they were when he left her two days ago.
“I am now,” he said.
She hugged him hard and he hugged her. They whispered, “I love you” again and again to each other. He would tell her all about his adventures and someday he might even tell her about Buck. Or maybe he’d just write about it instead.
Over her shoulder, he saw Clara standing there, a sad, lost look on her face. Marty gently pulled away from Beth. “Honey, I want you to meet Clara.”
Beth turned, wiping the tears from her eyes, and looked at the girl for the first time. Maybe Beth saw the blue eyes and the freckles and also saw herself. Or maybe she just saw a frightened child.
“She’s alone now,” Marty said.
Beth reached out her arm to Clara. “No, she isn’t.”
Clara ran over and joined their hug.
Martin Slack was finally home.
