For my mother, M. Florine (Harrell) Neggers
The long days of summer had come to an end, and as Olivia West sat at her kitchen table on the dark, cold October morning, she knew she wouldn’t live to see another Maine summer. Tomorrow she would turn one hundred and one. But it wasn’t just the odds catching up with her that led to her quiet certainty that she’d reached her sunset—she just knew. She had months, perhaps only days. Hours.
Her nephew, Patrick, wasn’t deterred by autumn’s shorter days. He poured himself a cup of coffee and sat across from her. He always stopped by before his walk in the nature preserve, which was just northeast of the brown-shingled 1890s house at the mouth of Goose Harbor where Olivia had lived her entire hundred years. She and Patrick both liked to be up to see the sunrise. It was one thing they had in common. Perhaps the only thing.
He was in uniform. That was unusual. Olivia licked her lips. “Patrick—”
“I can’t talk about it, Olivia.”
She understood. He had a job to do, but this time it hit close to home. He’d been preoccupied for some time but hadn’t told her everything, not that he needed to. She knew him, and she knew Goose Harbor.
She wondered what her brother would think if he could see his only child now. Patrick West, chief of police. He’d never known his father, also a Patrick. Olivia remembered seeing her baby brother off to war, knowing he wouldn’t come back, just as she knew, now, she wouldn’t see another summer.
Patrick nodded at her typewriter, an IBM Selectric II. She’d given up her Olivetti manual years ago, under protest, and had no intention of switching to a computer. “What’re you doing?” he asked.
