Summary
“You’re right, wolves aren’t stupid.” His mother says then, her tone of voice very, very grave. “They’re very, very smart and that’s what makes them dangerous. You think they don’t know when the best time to strike is? You think they don’t lie in wait for a naive, unsuspecting, foolhardy boy to go traipsing through the woods oblivious to the danger he’s in? The moment you let your guard down they’ll know.”
“You worry too much.” Lance tells her, but his will to fight is quickly draining. “I’ll follow the path. Straight to abuelita’s and straight back, as quickly as I can, just like you said. I won’t travel after the sun sets, and I’ll be home tomorrow in time for dinner. I won’t talk to anyone or anything I encounter on the way, no matter what, no exceptions. I promise.”

Or, after a lifetime of warnings not to step foot off the dirt path that weaves through the woods behind their house... Lance finally decides it's time to break the rules. What are the chances he'll run into a wolf anyway?
