Louis
caught
himself
whistling
in
the
shower
.
942
Missy
Dandridge
kept
Gage
while
Rachel
ran
Winston
Churchill
to
the
vet
's
office
.
That
night
Ellie
stayed
awake
until
after
eleven
,
complaining
querulously
that
she
could
n't
sleep
without
Church
and
calling
for
glass
after
glass
of
water
.
Finally
Louis
refused
to
let
her
have
any
more
on
the
grounds
that
she
would
wet
the
bed
.
This
caused
a
crying
tantrum
of
such
ferocity
that
Rachel
and
Louis
stared
at
each
other
blankly
,
eyebrows
raised
.
943
"
She
's
scared
for
Church
,
"
Rachel
said
.
"
Let
her
work
it
out
,
Lou
.

"
She
ca
n't
keep
it
up
at
that
pitch
for
long
,
"
Louis
said
.
"
I
hope
.
"
945
He
was
right
.
Ellie
's
hoarse
,
angry
cries
became
hitches
and
hiccups
and
moans
.
Finally
there
was
silence
.
When
Louis
went
up
to
check
on
her
,
he
found
she
was
sleeping
on
the
floor
with
her
arms
wrapped
tightly
around
the
cat
bed
that
Church
hardly
even
deigned
to
sleep
in
.
946
He
removed
it
from
her
arms
,
put
her
back
in
bed
,
brushed
her
hair
back
from
her
sweaty
brow
gently
,
and
kissed
her
.
On
impulse
he
went
into
the
small
room
that
served
as
Rachel
's
office
,
wrote
a
quick
note
in
large
block
letters
on
a
sheet
of
paper
--
I
WILL
BE
BACK
TOMORROW
,
LOVE
,
CHURCH
--
and
pinned
it
to
the
cushion
on
the
bottom
of
the
cat
bed
.
Then
he
went
into
his
bedroom
,
looking
for
Rachel
.
Rachel
was
there
.
They
made
love
and
fell
asleep
in
each
other
's
arms
947
Church
returned
home
on
the
Friday
of
Louis
's
first
full
week
of
work
;
Ellie
made
much
of
him
,
used
part
of
her
allowance
to
buy
him
a
box
of
cat
treats
,
and
nearly
slapped
Gage
once
for
trying
to
touch
him
.
This
made
Gage
cry
in
a
way
mere
parental
discipline
could
never
have
done
.
Receiving
a
rebuke
from
Ellie
was
like
receiving
a
rebuke
from
God
.

Looking
at
Church
made
Louis
feel
sad
.
It
was
ridiculous
,
but
that
did
n't
change
the
emotion
.
There
was
no
sign
of
Church
's
former
feistiness
.
No
more
did
he
walk
like
a
gunslinger
;
now
his
walk
was
the
slow
,
careful
walk
of
the
convalescent
.
He
allowed
Ellie
to
hand-feed
him
.
He
showed
no
sign
of
wanting
to
go
outside
,
not
even
to
the
garage
.
He
had
changed
.
Perhaps
it
was
ultimately
for
the
better
that
he
had
changed
.
949
Neither
Rachel
nor
Ellie
seemed
to
notice
.

Indian
summer
came
and
went
.
Brazen
color
came
into
the
trees
,
rioted
briefly
,
and
then
faded
.
After
one
cold
,
driving
rain
in
mid-October
,
the
leaves
started
to
fall
.
Ellie
began
to
arrive
home
laden
with
Halloween
decorations
she
had
made
at
school
and
entertained
Gage
with
the
story
of
the
Headless
Horseman
.
Gage
spent
that
evening
babbling
happily
about
somebody
named
Itchybod
Brain
.
Rachel
got
giggling
and
could
n't
stop
.
It
was
a
good
time
for
them
,
that
early
autumn
.
