Heading Back

When they returned from the festival and found Carlotta, William had a hard time sleeping. Early the next morning, when the sun was barely up, he went walking to the mound in case anyone else had come through. In the morning light he sees a gray shape in the snow and walks slowly forward saying, "Oh Beaut, where is she?"

If Miss Barlow sent Beaut away then whatever's happening is even worse than before and as he's able to calm Beaut, William buries his head in his mane and sheds a few tears. This wasn't supposed to happen, not to Milliways, not to everyone there.

There is less snow, however, than there was when William arrived; he has been here for almost a month. The children are out, and their cheerful voices as they play hide-and-seek ring out a counterpoint in the background.
