The Search

Catherine arrived in Calgary at 6:14 a.m. She brought three women with her. All of them moved like they'd been trained to clear rooms before they'd been taught to tie their shoes.

I met them in a parking garage off Macleod Trail. Lily was asleep in the backseat of the rental, Glitterhoof tucked under her chin, the narwhal wedged beside her car seat like a sentry.
