During the next several miles he was silent, and his silence was enough for her. Vermont sank away from her thoughts, and Wyoming held less of loneliness.

"It's an arrowhead from Vermont. My stepson, Max, found it." She weighed the arrowhead in her palm, as he had. "Max made the box. He was in New Zealand . . . It's a special wood from there. Kauri, it's called."

We helped a little about the housework, before and after school, making beds, trimming lamps, and washing dishes.
