Barbara dropped us off at the trailhead early the next morning. We walked uphill and then the trees thinned out into fields and fog structured everything, hanging like stripes of white paint slathered boldly across the landscape. I loved the way that the fog shifted with the wind, with the dawn, lifting like a veil. We weren’t far from roads and houses and I saw a figure, clad in black, running through the midground, a damp silhouette untethered from the earth, running through a cloud.

It didn’t feel like summer this early in the morning; it felt like autumn. The sheep matched the fields, still frosted with dew, and everything seemed softened into pastel, into the sweet colours of saltwater taffy. It seemed staged, like a theatre set in which different layers dropped down from above, and I felt euphoric, understood why Robert had been so eager to spend months on the Appalachian Trail.
