Show Fair Forever 178 Chapter Thirty One 100% When we pull into our driveway, Mom points to the large oak that shades our front yard. Katie is standing by the old tree, waiting. Looking my direction, Mom smiles and raises her eyebrows, but I ignore her and exit the car, leading Katie toward shore. Mom takes the hint and goes to the house. "Worried about the test on Friday?" I ask, wondering why she's here. "Sort of," she answers. "But that isn't why I came." We sit in the shade of my dock, our backs against one of the posts, our shoulders slightly touching. She picks up a stick and draws lines in the sand. A lighthouse and a skiff. "You promised to tell me the rest of the story-about Amanda," she says. |
