Sophie stood at the bottom of the stairs, thinking. Her jacket was in her room, but if she went up her mother might ask where she was going. Instead, she got her father’s old raincoat out of the front hall closet and slipped out the front door. The wind went up the too-loose sleeves, so she folded them over her hands and walked around to the back of the house. Did she want to go to the treehouse? No, she decided. Instead, she walked past the barn and the vegetable garden, past the fire pile, and up the hill, walking on the path their dad mowed into the wildflowers and long grass.
