brought her to her father in the first place, that delivered her to him and had
made him hers and she his —the improbability and yet the certainty that
would place the two of them in each other’s lives, tiny against the backdrop
of the world and tinier still against the mountains of time.
But belonging to each other, as much in death as in life.
Inescapably, and forever. The hunt showing her that.
