Chapter 38
Chapter 38 — The Last Picnic
Alex begins building the chicken coop behind the goat pen, cutting lumber and framing the structure with scrap wood and leftover materials. He calls the feed store and reserves eight Rhode Island Red pullets. He prepares a picnic for Eleanor — bread, cheese, tomatoes, wine — and meets her at the creek for their final date. Eleanor wants the night to be unforgettable and initiates rough, intense sex. They have multiple encounters in multiple positions. Alex finishes on her face, in her mouth, and inside her. He spends the night in Eleanor's cabin for the first and only time.
Alex woke at five. The sky was still dark. He lay in bed and looked at the plywood sketch on the wall. The coop. The run. The nesting boxes. The farm stand at the bottom in his own handwriting.
He got up. He put on jeans and a t-shirt. He walked to the kitchen. No one was there yet. He made coffee. He drank it standing at the counter, looking out the window at the area behind the goat pen where he'd build, right near the Old Coop.
The light came up slow. Orange behind the pines.
