As the hour approached dawn , Caterina’s eyes began to move under their lids. She was not dreaming.Caterina sat on a bench in the garden behind the Pack house. She was taking a rest from planting some zinnias and marigolds in the flower bed. She looked up as someone came walking down the path. The sun was behind them, so she could not see their face yet.As the figure grew closer, she can see that it was a man, and he was holding a small child. He crouched down and put the child on the ground; it was a little girl. She held up her hands and said, “Mama, mama,” and began to toddle towards her. Caterina smiled at the little girl then looked up into the face of the man. It was Orfeo. “What are you doing here?” she asked, snatching up the child.“Cara, what is wrong? We came to see you planting the prett y flowers. Are you un well?” h e asked her.“No! You’re not supposed to be here!” She got up and ran, holding the child in her arms. As she ran, the scene changed, and it became night, trees and bushes pulled at her clothing.
