It is about time! Inman finally reaches familiar territory. He walks up the rode to Black Cove and goes up to the house. He notices that there is no sign of life at the house and knocks on the door. He is introduced to the black-haired, Georgia boy instead of the expected woman he longed for, Ada. He then came down and told Inman the story of the shooting up in the mountains. Over time, he has developed a better story that he now tells everybody. Georgia tells Inman of the relative location at which the shooting took place. He set off for the shooting site. He reached the place and realized that they were not there. He noticed that they left with one of the "dead bodies." Snow was falling and Inman quickly followed the tracks to not lose them. He came to a figure wearing trousers and a jacket holding two turkeys. They both aimed weapons at each other and Inman noticed it was the woman he was looking for. He said her name but she didn't respond, as if shocked. After a while, she realized it was Inman. They embraced and Ada took him back to the hut where she, Strobod, and Ruby were staying. Have you ever spent a long time looking for something you missed dearly but it seemed like it kept pulling away? That is how Inman felt. Eventually, he found her!
This picture of the wolf hunting and stalking its prey resembles Inman in his search for his lost love, Ada.
This picture resembles life. Without a fire, Ruby, Strobod, Ada, and Inman would have died during their journey through the woods in the cold winter.
