She and the kids made it through security with a great thumping of tubs, the removal of shoes and boots—Billy’s sneakers scattering dirt all over the belt when he took them off—a long second look at Channing’s bottomless leather bag, and Hannah’s blanket having to be removed from her clutches so it could be scanned. As Aubrey noted the lumbering aircraft outside, one of which would take her children away, it seemed ridiculous that such things could fly.

When they arrived at the gate, the plane had begun boarding. Aubrey introduced her brood to the ticket agent and handed over the documents that enabled children to travel alone. Now that the moment had come and everything had been set into motion, Aubrey felt a hollow sensation that she almost couldn’t bear. “Hey,” she reminded them, holding her arms out when they began to walk directly toward the door. “Don’t I get a hug or something?”

Billy was the only one who came back. Channing had already turned her earphones on and Hannah only looked wistful. She’d reverted; her thumb was in her mouth as her big sister dragged her along by the hand.

“See you, Mom.” Billy’s words were offhanded, his lips wet and cool. She didn’t dare keep him longer with the girls gone on ahead.

“See you, little man.”

As Aubrey watched his compact little shoulders retreating, it seemed like her entire life had walked away.
