Chapter 13 Summary

The reporter asks Cam if he’s been able to get a good photograph of the blackbirds. He says all his shots come out blurry, but when the reporter asks if that’s because they are night shots, he responds in the negative.

Seelie freezes Natalie out because Natalie arranges for Faylene to babysit Ollie while she works. This makes Natalie tense. She’s also anxious because her first appointment with the grief counselor is that day. She prepares to start her car and hears a voice urging her to go to her appointment, but she cannot find the source. She tries the ignition, but the car won’t start. She finds a bird nest under the hood. River, Cam’s dog, suddenly appears. He chases a gray cat, who darts under the car, where River follows. Natalie tries to intervene between River and the cat. The cat jumps into the car but when Natalie searches for him, she can’t find him. Cam is close behind River. He sees Natalie’s distress and inspects the car, but he declares it won’t be starting anytime soon. He offers to drive Natalie to her appointment, and she agrees. On the drive, Cam reveals he was a Green Beret for seven years, and that his wife left him for the cable guy while he was deployed.
