She stands there for a second, watching the bear go. The morning light has truly arrived, and she can see the bear clearly, smaller and smaller and then hidden by trees. She starts to tremble. She staggers. Falls off the log, hitting the ground hard. The panic-breath is back. Her eyes well up, and for a second she can’t see anything, just her own tears. And she can’t breathe. And she’s shaking all over, jerky and painful, like Rachel was when she got too cold. “Hallie!” She hears her own name as if from a distance, through the roar of blood in her head. “Hallie, come here. Hallie!” It’s Jonah’s voice. There’s something else: a low, keening, gasping sound. “Hallie! I can’t get over to you. You have to come to me.” It takes her a second to realize what he’s saying. And to realize that the keening, the gasping, is her. She blinks enough to see Jonah reaching out for her. She pulls herself in that direction. Her arms feel like newborn faun legs, spindly and weak. She has no strength left. The bear took it. Jonah’s arms go around her. He pulls her to his chest. “Hey,” he says. “Hey, it’s okay. You did it. It’s gone. It’s okay.” He rocks her like a baby, holds her like she held him last night. There’s no self-consciousness left. Just arms holding and voice soothing and hearts beating, and the hysteria passes and she drops off to sleep.
