Guardian (2014)
“Psalm 22:12 I didn’t realize right away that Rafael was becoming more and more unpredictable. He gradually began arriving at the park a few minutes later every day. I hardly noticed until one day it was four-twenty when I checked my cell phone in response to a text alert. It was even more surprising to find the text was from Rafael: Can’t make it today. Sorry. Be there tomorrow, promise.
I gathered up Colton and Grace in confusion and disappointment. Rafael had never cancelled on me before. I... couldn’t help but be worried and sent a text back before leaving the park, Everything okay? I waited anxiously all evening for a reply, though it didn’t come until about nine o’clock: Fine. Work. As I didn’t even know what Rafael’s work was, except that it apparently was slightly dangerous, having something to do with ‘hunting’, this wasn’t very reassuring.
I spent what felt like an impossibly long evening with Colton and Grace, doing homework and tidying the house, wondering how to occupy the empty hours before me.MoreLess
