Not very considerate, I realize. Still, it was better than the one I’d left my dad. “Sorry. Culdn’t wait. Later. J.”

I folded Shep’s note and placed it in the tin box and then folded myself into the Volvo. Taking the back roads, I sped away from Poplar Hills, crossing over into the next county. I chose a route I figured no one could guess and one that would lead me, eventually, to Halifax. And finally, to Skye.

There are two things I know now that I didn’t know then. One, someone who knew me saw me. That would be the guy who just kept on giving—Brett Manderson. Two, I was heading directly into the path of an upcoming snowstorm.

The coming of spring is slippery business in Cumberland County at the best of times. Every year it seems to be getting worse. The winters last longer and the potholes get deeper. Some of them are so deep they’re more like bottomless sinkholes that swallow you up and no matter how hard you try, you think unless there’s a miracle, you’ll most likely never, ever get out.

So that’s what I was thinking as I drove on towards the city, my mind travelling faster than the car. Didn’t take long for Nova Scotia to glide slide far away and behind me. I sailed thousands of miles and a few months back and lived for a bit in my very own rear-view-mirror reality.
