Arrival

The boat that she was on came into view. First spotted on the horizon. He followed it to the dock as if a meditation. 

She disembarked alone with just a small,  brown suitcase. He wanted to greet her but not frighten her, so he  watched from the bridge. 

The car she was going to get into came into view.  First heard because of its loud music. He followed her until she merged onto the highway. 

His mother was home.
