Cady walked Lucy farther around the property, trying to take a page out of the dog’s book and focus on her senses. The air was fresh and cold, and carried the soft scents of early spring: budding fruit trees, bulbs pushing their way up through newly warmed soil, the rich aroma of lavender and rosemary bushes warmed by the sun and touched by dew. The outbuildings were still enshrouded in the morning mist, and everything was lit by the silver light of early morning.

She snapped some photos, crouching to angle her camera this way and that, trying to capture the odd juxtaposition of the graffiti against the historic buildings. The mist lent an aura of otherworldliness to the scene.

There didn’t appear to be any new graffiti decorating the outbuildings, so maybe the “bad kid” had found something else to do.

What was this kid’s story?

Lucy did her business behind a bush and Cady contemplated whether she was expected to pick it up—but this being France, and the countryside, she let it go. Parisians loved their dogs, but seemed content to leave their droppings where they fell, apparently too chic to scoop up doggy doo-doo.

Back in the château there was still no sign of Fabrice, so Cady took Lucy off the leash, filled the dog’s water bowl, and headed to her bedroom. As she had with her apartment in the Latin Quarter, she was developing her daily routine, making Château Clement feel more like home.

Maybe all those years spent bouncing from one situation to the next had been good for something, after all.
