It
wasn
’
t
as
hard
as
I
had
feared
.
The
way
was
mostly
flat
,
and
he
held
the
damp
ferns
and
webs
of
moss
aside
for
me
.
When
his
straight
path
took
us
over
fallen
trees
or
boulders
,
he
would
help
me
,
lifting
me
by
the
elbow
,
and
then
releasing
me
instantly
when
I
was
clear
.
His
cold
touch
on
my
skin
never
failed
to
make
my
heart
thud
erratically
.
Twice
,
when
that
happened
,
I
caught
a
look
on
his
face
that
made
me
sure
he
could
somehow
hear
it
.
I
tried
to
keep
my
eyes
away
from
his
perfection
as
much
as
possible
,
but
I
slipped
often
.
Each
time
,
his
beauty
pierced
me
through
with
sadness
.
For
the
most
part
,
we
walked
in
silence
.
Occasionally
he
would
ask
a
random
question
that
he
hadn
’
t
gotten
to
in
the
past
two
days
of
interrogation
.
He
asked
about
my
birthdays
,
my
grade
school
teachers
,
my
childhood
pets
-
and
I
had
to
admit
that
after
killing
three
fish
in
a
row
,
I
’
d
given
up
on
the
whole
institution
.
He
laughed
at
that
,
louder
than
I
was
used
to
-
bell
-
like
echoes
bouncing
back
to
us
from
the
empty
woods
.

The
hike
took
me
most
of
the
morning
,
but
he
never
showed
any
sign
of
impatience
.
The
forest
spread
out
around
us
in
a
boundless
labyrinth
of
ancient
trees
,
and
I
began
to
be
nervous
that
we
would
never
find
our
way
out
again
.
He
was
perfectly
at
ease
,
comfortable
in
the
green
maze
,
never
seeming
to
feel
any
doubt
about
our
direction
.
After
several
hours
,
the
light
that
filtered
through
the
canopy
transformed
,
the
murky
olive
tone
shifting
to
a
brighter
jade
.
The
day
had
turned
sunny
,
just
as
he
’
d
foretold
.
For
the
first
time
since
we
’
d
entered
the
woods
,
I
felt
a
thrill
of
excitement
-
which
quickly
turned
to
impatience
.
"
Are
we
there
yet
?
"
I
teased
,
pretending
to
scowl
.

"
Nearly
.
"
He
smiled
at
the
change
in
my
mood
.
"
Do
you
see
the
brightness
ahead
?
"
I
peered
into
the
thick
forest
.
"
Um
,
should
I
?
"
He
smirked
.
"
Maybe
it
’
s
a
bit
soon
for
your
eyes
.
