My brain cells were totally fried.

I’ve been sitting here since Calvin left about an hour ago. I asked him if Noah could stay the night

at his house today and he agreed.

know how to handle all of it.

My phone rings. For a second I think of ignoring, but decide against it. It might be an emergency.

I swipe the screen sightlessly. I put the gadget to my ear, but don’t say a thing. My mind was

“Cal never said anything before?”

“Never but when I mentioned Emma’s name, he completely froze. That gave everything away.

Also the fact that he didn’t correct me”

It still seems so surreal. I can’t imagine my life without Noah so I don’t understand how Emma

was able to live like her son didn’t exist.
