Emma is not keen on walking through the snow, she’s a greyhound bred to run in desserts, but he insists. He prides himself on dog training techniques. She’s lazy, needs a firm hand. He drags her along. A lone rabbit springs up, sprints over the crag. She leaps. He slips. She’s free. Ripples make no sound, still waters run deep.
