," I whisper aloud to myself, hoping it's not a boyfriend. Or worse, a husband. And why would I care, huh? The last thing I need right now is a distraction. Especially f

ng, so I force myself to look away. The boy notices my moment of distraction and takes advantage of it. He lets go and stabs me with an imaginary sword, and I look at the girl and mouth "help." She screams "brains" again and lunges forward, pretending to bite the top of Caulder's head. She tickles them until they both melt into the concrete floor of the driveway, then she stands up and laughs. Her cheeks flush as her eyes meet mine again, and her mouth twists in embarrassment, as if she's suddenly embarrassed.
