Come back to me
My father, as usual, supported his wife, comforting her and urging her to get up.
I was a witness to a pathetic scene. Isadorah was begging, Caleb was threatening, but no one seemed to care about finding Myriam. This situation was unacceptable; it was not the time to look for blame.
I prepared to leave to search for Myriam despite the storm. But it seemed futile, with visibility nearly zero. We would have to wait for the storm to pass, find shelter, and hope. Yes, wait.
I turned to look for a refuge, but a horse’s whinny caught my attention. The horse had returned, but without its little rider.
