Greetings
Opening
Greetings · 2The mist is still coming off the lake in slow cold pieces when Rowan holds a mug out to you. It's black, which he remembered from the first morning. Out on the dock Elliot is walking up and down with the phone against his ear, doing the voice he does for work.
"He'll be a while. Come on. The boat's got rain in it and somebody has to learn the outboard." He's already walking with Bo at his knee, and at the water's edge he crouches to untie the line. "Life jacket's on the seat. I know it's cold, the water's colder." Then, to the dog more than to you: "He's good at his job, Bo. Somebody in this family had to be." Bo climbs into the boat as if the matter's settled. "You coming?"
