“TELL ME ABOUT DOLLY.”

Hudson

The phone call I received when I was the farthest from my house was utterly terrifying.

Tiffani. Whose voice I hardly even recognized, screaming over and over, the words echoing in my mind as I sink my boot to the gas pedal, tearing through my land as fast as my truck will go.

Bear’s gone. Bear’s gone. Bear’s gone.

I know my boy, and if he ran off, there’s only one place he’d go. And it’s the one place I never let him go alone.

My eyes try to blur but I blink away the heated moisture, summoning unfettered strength and calm for my boy. I’m tearing through the land between the cow barn and the hay bales when I spot a mass of people scattered on my property. Slamming the brakes, then shifting the truck into park, I jump out, not bothering with the door.

“Bear!” I hear my voice rattle through the open land, echoing up to heaven as I shout over and over, “Bear! Bear!” My eyes lock with Deuce’s. “Where is he?” Deuce leaves the huddle of EMS workers, springing to my side. Taking my shoulders in his hands he forces my eyes to stay on him, our gazes idling.

His expression is serious and my stomach roils with unease because of it. “Bear is okay. He is fine, okay?” he starts, and even though he isn’t a father, he’s doing a good job of telling me the one thing I need to know to take me out of my frantic mental state.

I reach up and hook my hands on his wrists, holding him as he grips my shoulders. At some point in my efforts to get up to the house, I lost my hat, and I know it now as the sun pours over us in the lawn. Deuce continues. “He is okay. Okay? He’s getting checked out by the EMS but they don’t think he’ll even need to go in.” My hands fall away with the good news.

“He’s okay,” I repeat, needing to hear it again as my eyes slide from Deuce to the open ambulance. Bear is there, wrapped in a gray blanket, sitting in my sister’s lap, her arms looped tightly around him. A man with a clipboard is writing while talking happily to Bear, and he’s got a sucker in his mouth.

Seeing Bear snips the threads in my chest, releasing the suspended weight of doom that had filled my guts since my phone rang eight minutes ago.

Deuce leads me over, where I scoop Bear off Ev’s lap and kiss his face everywhere I can. “I love you,” I tell him a thousand times, soaking up the little giggles and squirms he gives back to me. “Love you, too, Daddy.”

“You’re all right?” I ask him, sizing him up and down with the paramedic standing idle, allowing us a moment.

He nods, twisting his gaze to Everly, who is still swiping at tears. “I’m so sorry, Hud,” my sister says.

“It wasn’t your fault.” My focus slides to my son.
