Dawn hopped over the fence and landed at on her face. Her heart
raced as she looked down at her palms, which were muddy and
scratched up from the patches of thorny weeds in the big yard.
She felt wet dirt on her right cheek and swiped the back of her hand
across it, smearing even more mud across the skin.
“Come on!” Georgia motioned to Dawn through her rolled-down
window, revving the engine of her old, dark green Toyota Camry.

Dawn tried to focus but her head felt fuzzy and the dew drops
sprinkled all over her skin were making her even more uncomfortable than
the dirt. Dawn looked up at the window she’d crawled from, the shed just
below it where she’d scraped her knee trying to land, the grass below the
shed, and nally, the fence separating the house from the rest of the street.
She tilted her head up to the second story of the painted white house with
its wooden slats and rustic cream siding and windows so big she couldn’t
imagine who needed to own a view of that much of the world.
Shaking out the leaves from her hair, she watched as a boy looked
down out of the open window on the second oor at her splayed body,
then looked quickly over his shoulder, then down at her again. Dawn
raised her hand to wave goodbye, and just as it seemed the boy was going
to wave back, he swung a stful of her pink underwear out of the window,
the crumpled fabric landing unceremoniously in the dirt next to her. e
boy shut the window with an echoing snap that bounced off all the other
big windows in the neighborhood of big houses.
Dawn propped herself up on her knees and bent her elbows until she
was in a crouching position. Her skirt stopped mid-thigh and did nothing
to protect her lower half from the chunks of mud now coating her legs.
She reached across the wet grass to grab her underwear but aer seeing
the mud caking the so pink cotton decided to abandon them in the yard.
“D, what are you doing? Hurry up! Edie has to be home soon.” Dawn
looked into the backseat of Georgia’s car and saw Edie resting her forehead
against the foggy glass. She knocked her head two times against the glass
and tapped her index nger to her wrist as if to say time to leave! Time!
Dawn stood up and brushed the dirt off of the wet spots where her
knees had touched the ground.
She stumbled and leaned her tired body
heavily against the white exterior of the Architectural Digest–ready home.
e row of bushes separating the house from its neighbor rubbed against
her and wet her clothes in odd, leaf-shaped patterns. Her knees ached
from the fall but she tucked her tall frame beneath the bushes’ cover and
ran across the side of the yard to the safety of Georgia’s car. She slipped
into the passenger’s seat and Georgia pulled off into the thick heat of the
evening.
