Isaac Bade-
I eventually got tired of waiting and made my way to the muddy backyard, as carefully as possible (though easily refuted, I had a notion that tromping through my aunt's garden could damage our rapport). Once there, I crossed the back patio and tried the door (locked, of course). I didn't bother with our quaint kitchen window, but instead grabbed hold of the bare lower limbs of the oak tree, hoping it wasn't too quixotic to hope it would still bear my weight. I hadn't tried this in ages, and could only assume the tree wouldn't drop me in some harsh rebuke. Up, over, up, over....I didn't think I heard any cracking branches. I considered that a good sign.
