那天晚上,我和格里塔是晚間新聞的頭條新聞。在新漢普郡的農村,我們沒有聽到大量的幫派鬥爭,謀殺,和連環強姦者的廣播;相反,我們有的是穀倉的燒燬,和在當地醫院的剪綵以及想我這樣的當地英雄。

我和我的父親站在廚房,準備晚餐。”索菲亞怎麼啦?“我問道,皺著眉頭看著客廳,她正把一灘水漬鋪在地毯上。

” 她累了“,我的父親說。

當我從幼兒園把她接回來後,她偶爾會小睡一會兒。但是今天,我在進行搜救工作,我的父親不得不把她帶到養老院,直到下班時間。不過,還有更多的事情。當我回到家時,她並沒有在門口等著告訴我所有重要的事情:誰在休息的時候盪鞦韆蕩的最高,伊斯利太太給他們讀了哪本書, 零食是不是連續三天吃胡蘿蔔與乳酪塊。

That night Greta and I are the lead story on the evening news。 In rural New Hampshire, we don‘t get broadcasts of gang wars and murders and serial rapists; instead, we get barns that burn down and ribbon-cuttings at local hospitals and local heroes like me。

My father and I stand in the Kitchen, getting dinner ready。 “ what’s wrong with Sophie?” I ask, frowning as I peer into the living room, where she lays puddled on the carpet。

“ She‘s tired,” my father says。

She takes an occasional nap after I pick her up from kindergarten, but today, when I was on a search, my father had to bring her back to the senior center with him until closing time。 Still, there’s more to it。 When I came home, she wasn‘t at the door waiting to tell me all the important things: who swung the highest at recess, which book Mrs。 Easley read to them, whether snack was carrots and cheese cubes for the third day in a row。
