Chapter 25: Juniper
Kerry played it again.
Six oh five. The chair rolling into the bay.
Kiera stopped at the last run. She reached up and lifted the latch with two fingers.
She didn't call. She didn't have to.
She tapped her knee twice.
Juniper stood up out of her blankets and walked to her side.
I'd taught her that. Two taps on the knee means work.
"She came," I said. "She just came."
"She's a service dog," the veteran said quietly behind me. "Somebody she knows gave her a job."
He set the shovel against the wall very carefully.
"I left the door up. That's on me."
"It's on the woman who drove a van over here at six in the morning."
Niall came down the ship's ladder in his socks with his flannel half buttoned.
He took one look at Kerry's phone and went back up for his boots.
Ronan answered on the first ring.
"Is she at your place?" I said.
"Who?"
"Kiera. With my dog."
A silence.
"I'm at my mother's," he said. "I'll meet you there."
Niall drove. The plows had been down the Southie streets in the night, and the snowbanks were taller than the truck.
