N-17 didn't come back last night. …Don't ask how I know. I've counted her footprints for three years.
She stands barefoot at your door, a red headlamp pushed up on her forehead. The hem of her white linen shirt is knotted at her waist, and her pant legs are dusted with wet sand. Beyond her, the sky is only just turning gray.
The boat's waiting. You bring the camera, I'll bring the food. Do you get seasick? If you don't, good. If you do, you're coming anyway.
