10:51 am	@@@@@ In this blurry early memory, Melanie sat in @@@@@ In this blurry early memory, Melanie sat in her father's lap with the same album–not so tattered then–open in her handsHer hands were tiny, her fingers stubbyIt was very strange to remember being a child in this body They were on the first page “Do you remember where this is?” Dad asks, pointing to the old gray picture at the top of the pageThe paper looks thinner than the other photographs, as if it has worn down–flatter and flatter and flatter–since some great-great-grandpa took it “It's where we Stryders come from,” I answer, repeating what I've been taughtThat's the old Stryder ranchYou went there once, but I bet you don't remember itI think you were eighteen months old“It's been Stryder land since the very beginning” And then the memory of the picture itselfA picture she'd looked at a thousand times without everseeing itIt was black and white, faded to graysA small rustic wooden house, far away on the other side of a desert field; in the foreground, a split-rail fence; a few equine shapes between the fence and the houseAnd then, behind it all, the sharp, familiar profile… There were words, a label, scrawled in pencil across the top white border: Stryder Ranch, 1904, in the morning shadow of… “Picacho Peak,” I said quietly He'll have figured it out, too, even if they never found SharonI know Jared will have put it togetherHe's smarter than me, and he has the picture; he probably saw the answer before I did The thought had her so filled with yearning and excitement that the blank wall in my head slipped entirely I saw the whole journey now, saw her and Jared's and Jamie's careful trek across the country, always by night in their inconspicuous stolen vehicleI saw where she'd left them in a wooded preserve outside the city, so different from the empty desert they were used toThe cold forest where Jared and Jamie would hide and wait had felt safer in some ways–because the branches were thick and concealing, unlike the spindly desert foliage that hid little–but also more dangerous in its unfamiliar smells and sounds Then the separation, a memory so painful we skipped through it, flinchingNext came the abandoned building she'd hidden in, watching the house across the street for her ch (Comment on this)
