Pete sat in the back of Grace’s jeep, huddled in a corner on the floor behind the seat. He looked altogether miserable.

“It’s okay, Pete,” Grace said sympathetically. “You don’t have to go back to the hospital. We’re going somewhere much nicer….”

“We’re going to my house!” yelled Natalie from the front seat. Pete slowly lifted his head.

“Can I ask you a question, Pete?” Grace caught his eye in the rearview mirror and held up the silver disk. “Can you tell me how you came by this?”

With a hoarse whisper, Pete answered, “Where the trees ran away.”

Natalie fiddled with a dial on the dashboard of the vehicle. As she turned it, there were crackling and hissing noises. Then, suddenly…music.

Music! Pete had forgotten music. The melody swept over him like a long-ago memory he didn’t even know he’d lost. For the first time since he’d left the forest, he started to relax.

Grace stopped the car outside a large country home and opened the driver’s side door.

“Come inside, Pete,” Grace said, waving the boy toward the house. “Let’s get you something to eat.”

Pete shook his head. “I want to go home.”

Grace crouched down next to him. “Where is your home?”

Pete just stared out toward the direction of the forest.

“Well,” Grace said, “it’s going to be dark soon. How about this: if you come with me now, I’ll take you back there tomorrow and you can show me exactly where you live.”

Pete paused. He didn’t know what to say, but he was feeling odd. For some reason, his mind went back to the rabbit he had found the other day. The one that didn’t bite him or scratch him as he held it. The rabbit knew he didn’t mean any harm…and somehow he knew Grace didn’t mean any harm, either.

“You know,” Grace continued, “when I was a little girl, I wanted to live in the forest more than anything. I loved being out there with the trees and the animals. So when I grew up, I made it my job to protect the woods and everything in them, which I suppose…includes you.”

Pete looked at Grace. “And Elliot?” he asked.

“Elliot?” Grace replied. “Who’s Elliot?”
