Wonderful writing as always, Mary, with beauty, mystery, insight--all wrapped into one delightful read. You brought to mind our own wolf-suit boy. Long ago he created mischief with a true innocent's heart. Seems he never realized until after the fact that his choices could go terribly wrong. And then, all too soon, his creative little mind would be working on what he might try next, rarely stretching himself to consider the consequences. (Thankfully we only had to take him to the ER once!) But ah yes, as his parents, we certainly could have eaten him up, we loved him so. Now he's grown, the mischief has nearly disappeared--except for the twinkle in his eye.
