摘要

It was the pain that woke me, something that has happened increasingly often over the past couple of months. I thought at first that it was some residual effect from the accident, so I didn't bother my doctors with it -which was a mistake. A fatal mistake, as it turns out. As the light spilling around the curtains got stronger, I edged slowly over to the window. Below me, Tiburon lay infinitely tranquil in the soft autumn sun. Across the Bay, framed by Angel Island on one side and the lonely towers of the Golden Gate on the other, the broken teeth of the San Francisco skyline hung in the mist. Ellen had loved this view - a love that led us to stay here even after the tsunami of 2018, the one that missed us by just a few feet. Next time I'd know what to do when the pelicans disappear - not, I reminded myself, that I will see a next time. By the time I had showered and fought my way into my clothes, I could see that Dave was waiting for me on the street behind the house. Just the knowledge that I was going to see him again made me feel better. Don't get me wrong, it's nothing sexual, but he is by far the best assistant I have ever had - bright, intuitive and insightful - and for the past three years he has certainly been my best friend and only true confidant.
