When
i
arrived
at
home
,
i
could
feel
a
presence
in
the
dark
house
,
even
when
i
turned
on
the
lights
.
i
was
not
frightened
,
because
our
dog
was
wagging
its
tail
.
there
was
familiarity
in
the
air
.
suddenly
, hilary appeared.
she
was
holding
a
sprig
of
large
purple
grapes
in
her
hand
.
the
look
on
her
face
was
what
people
appear
like
when
they
are
caught
doing
something
illegal
.
"
what
are
you
doing
here
?"
i
asked
.
i
was
numb
,
unable
to
comprehend
the
gravity
of
anything
.
"
look
at
these
grapes
,"
she
said
,
and
her
eyes
filled
with
tears
.
