We drifted along the shore, a lurid blue length of leash the physical embodiment of the bond between us. We stepped over stones and leaped onto rocks, and I wondered if the people on the fishing boats in the distance could see us. For a while I walked, away from the steps that lead us down to this place, and he followed behind; trusting me to lead him somewhere worthwhile. And when at last we got there, I sat on a smooth flat rock and he settled in beside me. A stringy strand of seaweed clung to his mottled fur. I looked out to sea, past the boats and over the surface of the silver-skinned water to the horizon line; and felt that possibility was infinite. |
