He was dead and I thought her gone too. I thought I'd lost them both, lost them to each other one last time. My brother would have liked that. He took her once before and he would have taken her forever if he could have. I'm ashamed to say I reached for him first. His wrist, his neck, searching for a pulse that wasn't there.
