How To Tame Beasts And Other Wild Things - Plot & Excerpts
I can’t help but try to read into the coming months, though I can’t imagine what’ll happen when Everit does pass. Oddly, he seems so damn healthy it surprises me that he’s sick. Healthy enough to spar with Matilda on a regular basis, and part of why I’m surprising her with a little weekend away. Matilda is strong in all sorts of beautiful ways, but I know this thing with her dad is chewing at her. Tears come easily to her these days, and the holidays are surely adding a layer of melancholy. I just want her to be happy, just want her to stay on the farm. I know I can’t pressure her with the stress she’s dealing with, but damn if I’m not going to do everything in my power to show her what she means to me. “I can still skate backward, klutzy or not!” Matilda cheers as she spins, nearly falling onto the ice. She collects herself and continues skating away from me. All I see is a sore ass in her future. She’s giggling as she shuffles awkwardly on the bumpy ice.
