Caleb got up and went over to the small barn window.
"What color is the sea when it storms?" he asked Sarah.
"Blue," said Sarah, brushing her wet hair back with her fingers. "And gray and green."
Caleb nodded and smiled.
"Look," he said to her. "Look what is missing from your drawing."
Sarah went to stand between Caleb and Papa by the window. She looked a long time without speaking. Finally, she touched Papa's shoulder.
"We have squalls in Maine, too," she said. "Just like this. It will be all right, Jacob."
