What you see isn't what you get, she thinks as he walks away, to his father in that car, to his little brother bouncing in the backseat, to a life she can't understand. She wonders if he'll be safe, if he'll be happy, if any dreams he has can be reached.
But it's not her place to ask him to stay—and he wouldn't, anyway. He has a destiny, on the backroads of America, a future she can never comprehend.
And this boy—man, hunter, killer, savior—is meant for so much more.
Good luck, she thinks, and he's gone.
