Caydance was almost to the entry way to the school courtyard when she encountered a recent MFA grad on his way across the Bridge to Headlands, where, he told her, he was working on David Ireland's Rodeo Room restoration. They chatted briefly.
"Got to get to class", she said,
"Late to pick up some materials", he said.
Caydence took her hands off the cart to wave goodbye. Just as he disappeared into the courtyard, as if pushed by an invisible force, the cart took off down the hill.
