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
