Letting Go
She was fully-grown already, so Plucas knew that Emma could handle herself by then. However, this knowledge did nothing to ease his anxiety. He recounted that period in vivid detail, “I remember those first nights she didn’t come home… Oh, I barely slept. But she grew up, I had to get over it. After all, it was my goal from the very beginning.”
The First Surprise
As Plucas was digesting the fact that Emma would be gone forever, she came back and surprised him. It wasn’t a one-off coincidence either! She made the effort to show up at the home of her savior every single day. He could see that she was no longer a little moose. She was ready to fend for herself already. Whenever she dropped by, Plucas knew to treasure those moments.
