Summary
"On the gravelly shoulder of this rain-slick road, a single car was stopped. It hunkered in the gravel like a bear against the storm, solid and squat and determined to stay until the rain stopped. A woman waited beside it, long brown hair soaked and hanging limply down her back, raincoat dripping miserably around her sodden tennis shoes. She was pacing back and forth, the length of the car, over and over again. Occasionally she pulled out a phone and checked something on the screen, keeping it as dry as she could, and then returned it to an inner pocket.
An owl called, solemn and low--ominous in its loneliness--and the trees continued their damp monk-like silence."
