The jeans on the line are so dry they’re bleached white down one side, but Ellen had left them hanging. Overlooked in the packing post-argument they were a reminder, like every postcard she’d tacked to the Roadhouse wall, that Jo was still out there, equally laughing and sulking, alive.

Ellen goes and sits on the back stoop, watching the jeans sway in the evening breeze. There haven’t been any postcards, not for months now, and all the passers-through shrug or shake their heads.

It’s long after dark before she can steel herself to bring the jeans in from the line.
