Cut Back
“Each morning Kai stood on the balcony, searching the liquid horizon for the darker-colored bands of sets, but saw nothing. The few weak waves that did manage to come in broke on the shore. So in the mornings Kai helped Teddy build boards. Gradually she was letting him do more and more work.

“Where’s he going?” Kai asked.
“Don’t matter,” said Pat.
This was definitely strange.MoreLess
