H alo came home with Evan when she was two months old. She flew home in the car riding on his stomach, her eyes fixed lovingly on his face. She never looked out the window at the clouds or the jewel blue sky or at Dad. All of her attention was focused on Evan. He kept his right hand on her to keep her steady in the slight turbulence they’d encountered near New Texas, but he needn’t have. Her tiny, front claws were hooked into his shirt as she gazed up adoringly at him.
“Looks like you have an admirer,” Dad said, as he glanced away from his work momentarily. The earth slipped by rapidly beneath them, and the car’s guidance system announced they were at eight hundred feet in the air and about forty miles from home. “We’re almost there,” Dad remarked.
“Look! She’s smiling at me,” Evan pointed to her face, and at that moment the light from sun shining through the clouds made a crown of bright white light with faint rainbow color shimmers in it around her head. He touched her tiny nose and whispered, “Now I know what to name you.”
“What’s that?” Dad asked him.
Evan decided to wait to make his announcement when everyone was present, and instead he said, “Thanks, Dad. I can’t tell you how much I already love her.
