I know how that sounds.
I have heard myself say it a hundred times since, just a second, and I know it is what everyone says.

It just needs you to close your eyes for a second, and so I did.
And when I opened them, the couch was empty, and the front door was standing open and the rain was coming in across the floor, and Devin was gone."
I came up off that chair faster than I've ever moved in my life.
Cole was asleep in the bedroom, and I shouted his name as I went through the door into the rain.
And the rain hit me like a cold wall, and the dark was almost total.
Just the faintest gray starting in the east over the mountains.
First light.
The light we'd been trying to make it to.
And down the slope of the rocky beach, at the edge of the water, I could see him.
Devon.
a pale shape in the gray, walking, not fast, steady, walking straight out into Lake Crescent with the water already up past his knees and climbing.
I don't remember the slope.
I don't remember the rocks, though I tore both knees open on them and didn't feel it until hours later.
I remember the cold of the water when I hit it, the shock of it, so cold it stopped the breath in my chest, 600 feet of glacial cold, and Devon already in it up to his waist and still walking, his arms loose at his sides, his face turned out toward the deep dark middle of the lake where the bottom drops away and never comes back.
I remember screaming his name and him not turning.
