The Black Swan

But he’d be back in January to honor Jane Littlebury, the black swan who’d died in France in World War II, and he’d make a point of seeing Noah then.


Every time Gabe returned to Braddockville, he did visit Wittington as well. He just never got to see Noah. A little skulking revealed that whenever Gamble Poynter knew Gabe would be coming to Braddockville, he sent Noah away to visit relatives.


Gabe would have gone after him, but dammit, the lad had more family than he could shake a stick at, and Gabe didn’t know which part of the country to travel to.


“This is your fault, Remember Littlebury,” he told him when he went to the cemetery to honor his passing. “Your family always did breed like rabbits.”


That was just great.NowRemember chose to answer him?
