Hailey — What the Neighbor’s Camera Revealed

“Your girl left this on my porch,” he said.

It was a drawing of a man beside a garden fence with an enormous blue camera over his head.

“She drew that?” I asked.

“Delivered it herself with your sister watching.

Said I was the keeper of the garden.”

Warren cleared his throat and looked away.

“Tell her I like it.”
