There was no one home when we got there. I took the spare key from under the mat and got my fish purse so I could pay the driver. But when I tried to give him my quarters, he threw up his hands and drove away.

Just after the taxi left, my mother’s car pulled up. She parked in the middle of the grass and ran into the house. When she saw me, she cried and said my name again and again as if I was still lost and she was looking for me.

Later my father came home and demanded to know where we had been. He had driven all over town, he said, to the raptor center and the lake and the grocery store, but we were nowhere to be found. I looked at my mother. Her eyes were still red, but she’d combed her hair and put some lipstick on. Tell your father where we’ve been, she told me. Nowhere special, I said.
