Out Of The Dark (Light & Dark #1) - Plot & Excerpts
#20. Luck will find you in the end. We walk for miles, the road long and winding. We never know what will be around the next twisty bend, so we make it into a game, trying to guess what could be around the next one. A windmill, a boat, a man, a cow. We of course find none of these things, but Lilly enjoys the game, and she smiles frequently. Her smile lightens my heavy heart. We come across a ripe blackberry bush heavy with fruit and we put all of our belongings from the ratty carrier bag into Lily’s backpack and then fill the carrier bag with as many berries as it will hold. We eat while we scavenge, plucking fat berries from thorny branches and chewing them contentedly. The juices sate our thirst and our hunger, and I can almost feel myself being revitalized with each mouthful. Lilly’s hands are purple from the berries, her lips and chin also, and I smile for the first time in days as she eats and eats and eats. There was a day like this, long ago, where we ate berries and she sang to me.
