My Luna? Never!
I saw his knee bending, the hoof lifting: he was stepping into the car’s path.
In the instant that I spent waiting for the deer to roll up over the car’s hood and crash through the windshield, I was aware of my body warm in the seat, Tristan’s face lit by the dash, Brooks breathing in the back, the cool sulfur glow of the car’s interior, the salty smell of the burger bag. I watched the deer’s knee and waited for it to straighten. I drew a sharp breath.
The bumper missed the deer’s chest by an inch, maybe two. The animal’s muzzle passed so close that I could see the swirl of hair around his nostrils. Then he was gone behind us.
