Chapter 23: The Foundation
The place was a mile downriver, in a clearing of bracken and birch where the Skagit made a slow green bend.
He had cleared the ground.
On the flat rise stood the bare timber frame of a house.
The pale new beams stood against the blue sky, with no walls yet, only light.
I stood at the edge of the clearing with my hand in his.
"Tavish."
"It isn't finished."
"You built this?"
"Marek and I put up the frame this week. After the Rite."
"After the Rite," I said.
"I woke up at the Rite," he said, "and the first thing I did was buy the timber."
I laughed and cried, both at once.
He led me up the rise and through the open frame.
Inside, on the plank floor, lay a thick bedroll and a wool blanket, and a thermos, and a bunch of wildflowers in a jam jar.
"You planned this."
"I hoped."
"You hoped I would come here."
"I hoped you'd want to stay," he said.
I turned to face him.
The sun came through the beams in long gold stripes and fell across his shoulders.
