Crazy
“It just might fit you." I imagine another pea coat, but the real thing since Cap is retired from the navy and he has one on, but he reaches into the hall closet and pulls out a jacket with red and black squares on it. It looks like a woodsman's jacket.
"It's lined with Thinsulate, so it's thin but plenty warm," he says, offering me the coat.
I put it on as best as I can, what with my left arm still in a sling. The right side fits exactly, and I wonder which foster kid left it behind. It can't b...e Reed's; it's for somebody long and narrow, like me.
Cap helps me get the coat buttoned; then we step outside into the sunshine. I squint and look out across the lawn. It feels strange not to see the river in front of me, its color always changing to shades of gray and blue and green and brown. Instead, I see the snow-covered lawn and a puny snowman leaning drunkenly in its center. The brick walkway that divides the lawn in two is shoveled off, and as we walk toward the street, I hear the sound of our shoes crunching on the bits of salt scattered here and there.MoreLess
