Chapter 23 — Rain
Jamie came home soaked.
Hair dripping.
Shoes muddy.
"I forgot my umbrella."
Sarah handed him a towel.
"I can see that."
Ethan laughed.
Jamie looked confused.

"No."
"Why?"
"Because wet clothes dry."

"So do those."
Jamie smiled.

Nobody turned on the television.
Nobody reached for a phone.
