Chapter Thirty-Six

They spent half the night putting up a series of poles and fence posts around the goats, building an enclosure Fritz thought was entirely too large for a small family of goats.

“It won’t just be for goats,” Bill said. “One day we’ll have pigs, horses, a cow, if we can find one.”

The goats looked quite happy in their new home. They munched on the sprigs of grass and foliage that sprouted out of the ground.

“Shall we feed them now too?” Fritz said.

“No,” Bill said. “They’ll be okay till morning.”

“It is morning,” Jack said. “The sun will be coming up soon.”

“The sun?” Bill said, checking over his shoulder and looking toward the east coast that ran away from them at a perpendicular angle. “You’re right. It’s about time we all got to bed.”

“Pointless going to bed,” Fritz said, yawning. “By the time we get to sleep we’ll have to get up again.”

But go to bed they did, struggling up the ladder to their pallets, not even bothering to wash their faces or brush their teeth. Bill tried his best to keep quiet as he crept around to his side of the bed he shared with Liz. He sat on the edge of the bed, landing heavier than he expected. Liz started.

“Sorry,” Bill said.

“Did you get everything done?” Liz said around a mouthful of sleep.

“Yeah,” Bill said. “The goats are housed. It’s nothing special. We’ll have to upgrade it later, but it’s good enough for now.”

Bill stifled a yawn.

“Aren’t you getting to bed?” Liz said.

“Not right now,” Bill said. “There’s something I need to do.”

“Can’t it wait till morning?” Liz said.

“No,” Bill said. “You go to sleep. It won’t take long.”

But he didn’t move, and just sat on the edge of the bed looking out at the ocean.

“You can tell me anything, Bill,” Liz said. “You know that, right?“

“Yeah,” Bill said, leaning over and kissing her on the check. “I know. Go to sleep.”

For twenty minutes Liz lay with her eyes open before her lids became too heavy and began to drift closed. The bed rocked as Bill stood up, waking Liz. She closed her eyes. Bill paused for a moment before Liz. She felt his eyes on her. Then he moved out onto the landing and climbed down the ladder.

Liz got up and put on her jeans. She peered out from behind the low-hanging tree boughs and spied Bill heading into the jungle. Liz climbed down the ladder to the ground and ran across the clearing in Bill’s direction. She stepped into it.

The sun was just beginning to rise, and cast long fingers across the jungle floor. The world was tinted a chill blue. Liz shivered. Her bare shoulders were cold and she cursed herself for not grabbing a jacket on her way out.

The undergrowth snapped beneath her feet. She peered around at the encroaching darkness. An owl hooted, and another bird screeched. She could see no sign of Bill.

Liz turned and looked back the way she had come, the
