Beloved turned around and left. Denver had not arrived, or else she was waiting somewhere outside. Beloved went to look, pausing to watch a cardinal hop from limb to branch. She followed the blood spot shifting in the leaves until she lost it and even then she walked on, backward, still hungry for another glimpse.

Beloved轉(zhuǎn)了一圈離開了。Denver還沒有到，或者是她在外面某處等候著。Beloved去找她，中途停下來從頭到腳觀察一個cardinal hop。她的目光循著血跡在葉子間變換直到血跡消失。即便如此，她也來回踱步，非常想找到另外一瞥。
