The change in the weather the TV guy had promised had already arrived, clouds and storm-cells driven east by a chilly wind running just under gale force. Trees had continued to fall in the dripping woods for at least an hour after the rain stopped. Around five o’clock I made us toasted-cheese sandwiches and tomato soup … comfort food, Jo would have called it. Kyra ate listlessly, but she did eat, and she drank a lot of milk. I had wrapped her in another of my tee-shirts and she tied her own hair back. I offered her the white ribbons, but she shook her head decisively and opted for a rubber band instead. “I don’t like those ribbons anymore,” she said. I decided I didn’t, either, and threw them away. Ki watched me do it and offered no objection. Then I crossed the living room to the woodstove.
