"In the sea, Corr's clumsiness will disappear, his weight cradled by the saltwater. I don't want to say good-bye. I blink to clear my vision and reach up. I pull off his halter. The ocean is his love and now, finally, he'll have it. I back out of the surf. There's a thin, long wail. Corr takes a labored step away from the November sea. And another. He is slow, and the sea sings to us both, but he returns to me."

"When she made her way to the big picture window that framed the dining room table she froze. She stopped breathing. The anger was growing again.It grew up into her throat, where she could taste it, coppery like blood, in the back of her mouth. It grew down into her stomach, where it knotted her intestines. It made her arms stiffen and her shoulders lock. It pushed against her ribs until she felt they would snap like sticks."
