    Summary

    She lays the sage bundle down in one of his seashells, avoiding the label. How he loved cataloging natural items.

    His hand lies just outside the white comforter. When she touches it, the chill of his skin sends a shiver down her spine. His lips move, his voice as soft as dead, dry leaves.

    “What’s that, love?” she says.

    “In the trees,” he says, his eyes still closed. “Is it John there in the trees? I think he’s waiting for me.”

    Viola turns her gaze out the window and to the closest tree, a resplendent cherry in the throes of autumn. In the branches there, for just a second, she thinks she sees it: a black bird, feathers gleaming in the sun.
