That did it for me. I shoved the OPP guys out and spent an hour hanging the door and fitting a new lock. Then I drove over to the Horns' place.
Fred came to the door when I got there. She said nothing for about half a minute, we stood and looked at one another and then she kissed me, gently. 'Let's go home,' she said. 'I'll get Louise.'
So I thanked Jean and drove my wife and baby back to the house. She looked at the new door. 'Pretty neat. Ever think of taking up carpentry as a career?'
'I can do,' I said carefully. 'I'm off now and I'm not going back.'
She undid the straps around our daughter. 'Not for a month anyway,' she said. 'We'll go out west first, think things over from a distance.'
'OK.' I put my arm around her shoulders and we walked slowly up the steps to the house, feeling my way back into my life, wondering if anything would be the same from here on.
