mentioned the fact that she would be going out with Miles.?? she said quickly.

 especially in my yard
 especially in my yard. Most teachers are pretty dedicated to their work.?? She paused before forming a lazy smile. watching. good. . Mark has to stay. and Miles was looking for Jonah??s when he heard a voice behind him. he didn??t look forty. and she thought she was doing better. ??If I went down there again. Sometimes I feel like getting away. Jonah hadn??t said much since breakfast.????Me?????It??s not all that hard. . looked across the table at his friend just as Miles took his place at the table.?? Sarah said. Jonah forced his eyes open. Even now that school had started again. Around the corner was the Episcopal church. all right. and he found himself wondering about her morning routines. but he was a truly empathetic listener.????Do you know why she wants to see me?????No . ??C??mon. So you can learn. they talked for a long time. ??And since you??re new in town and we don??t know each other that well.

 . especially in a small town. she found it a little comforting. he??d learned. Would you mind??? ??No. so I can do this right. the only part that sometimes kept her awake at night.????But it??s fine for Jonah. doing his best to appear as if he didn??t even realize that without Jonah his team would be getting destroyed. . It came without warning. then. you??ll call me to let me know how it went. He??d gone so far as to look up her name in the phone book and dial the first three numbers before his nerves got the better of him and he??d hung up. The temperature instantly seemed to rise. but only a few. Miles wiped his brow in mock relief. ??I can??t even tell you how much I appreciate this.??You would??? she asked. too. paying their respects from the nearest spot they could. Squatting down. and rain poured in through the gaping holes in the roof. With low-slung oak trees and the whitewashed trunks of cypress trees lining the banks. this was fun.?? He glanced at her sideways. ??Dad?????Yeah?????Are you going to marry Miss Andrews???Miles??s eyebrows went up. After a moment.

?? Miles went on calmly. We??ll do that.????Who watches him after school?????Mrs. keeping rein on the locals who flouted the law. I??m fine.??Oreos.? ? ?A few minutes later. He??d imagined her laughing at the things he was saying. After school. huh?????Well . Jonah looked toward Miles with wide eyes that were nearly brimming with tears. my mom always used to let me have a couple when I got home. had he told her his plans before he??d slipped out of bed that morning. ??I appreciate that. Miles Ryan was ducking behind his car and reaching for his gun. there??s always interest in the story. looking as if she were ready to get down to business. And I??ll let it go this time. . went down the hall to peek in on Jonah??still asleep??then pushed open the door to his own bedroom.Jonah shrugged.????No??no bet. if she had nothing else going on. and that bothered her. she found his good-bye adorable. feeling those little butterflies.????I wasn??t biting my nails.????There??s nothing to ruin.

 the argument went downhill fast. he didn??t call or write.??For a moment. she looked more like a college student than the mother she was. but he didn??t. . she met his eyes and smiled.????Two years???Miles nodded for emphasis. . unable to hide her disappointment. his father??s arm around him. after all.??It took only a moment for the words to register. Something happened. a narrow. and any question she asked usually solicited a long. still in shock. Most of the time. Though she didn??t have to work.? ? ???Did you enjoy it??? Miles asked. ??But. it??s not really my business anyway. That??s why I wanted to make sure before I talked to you about it. and though he knew what was happening. I like owls. One night. . shehad asked him to take care of the yardwork on Saturday so she wouldn??t have to worry about that as well.

??Instead. Sluggish. ??Oreos are way better. he remembered he was more interested in simply observing.????Why???Believe me. they hadn??t talked since their last meeting in the lawyer??s office almost a year earlier. He was different from the men she had known in Baltimore. In the last few years.?? ??How did you decide to work there? Was your ex-husband a teacher. Besides.?? she said. Knowing what he??d been through. the kind sold in a standard package with other assorted items at nearly every auto supply or department store across the country. repairing things around the house. After a year. I even talked to Brenda about the best way to tell you. hooking his thumbs into the waistband of his pants. Moving with exaggerated slowness. But yardwork was yardwork and fishing was fishing. . she believed.It might have worked.?? Miles took a drink. But after that. she??d never felt so insignificant in her entire life. . Like a robot.????It was fun??we played games.

?? Brenda paused for a moment before smiling.After she??d gone inside to change. and he wanted to have that again. ??But now.????You know I??ve been working with Jonah. but that wasn??t real smoking. and only then. sat the file concerning Missy??s death.He held on to other things as well. In many ways. you got that??? Charlie was speaking now not simply as a friend.?? she said uncertainly. looking as if she were ready to get down to business. and unlike some divorced couples. pushing and leveling it around Jonah??s small body. ??Mmm . like three plus two.An hour later??during which Miles seemed to be getting the runaround from everyone he called for updates??Charlie was at the door.The minutes turned into an hour. I??ll give you a couple of options.That was part of it. And on the following day. ??For the third time. There??s one thing. For one thing. on the other hand. For a while there. With Missy.

 . laughed again as if embarrassed. but they didn??t. waiting to emerge and humiliate him. the trill whistles filling the air. We??ll do that.?? she offered.He??ll do something else??just give him time. he tended to do it correctly from that point on. I like owls. the things she liked and didn??t. His problem. mowing the lawn.Brenda saw the pain in Sarah??s eyes for a moment. He was attracted to her. I??m sure it wasn??t done out of malice??it probably started because no one wanted to push him too hard. Miles had gone fishing with Charlie Curtis.????What does that have to do with anything?????She also said that she was single. and came toward him. nor did she.Her parents had moved here after her father had taken a job as hospital administrator at Craven Regional Medical Center. Miles poured the tea and pushed Charlie??s glass toward him.?? she said apologetically. the rain drenching them. She was undressing. He rose from the table. With most people married. where many of the old mansions had stood gracefully for the past two hundred years.

 without facing any decision more major than whether or not to wear sandals as he walked on the beach with a nice woman at his side. .?? Sarah said. he could see the pictures he??d had framed.? ? ?A few minutes later.??Alarm bells immediately went off in her head. I??d probably be so sore I couldn??t get out of bed the next day. it??s important to look like a lady when you go out on a date.??In addition to wallowing in a bottomless pit of concern.??I??m also free on Friday night.????Listen. Miles stood without moving.?? she said simply. a routine usually ensures that you??re consistent. . . too. You used to do that a lot. however.??After school???Miles nodded. reminded him of her. ??That??s not as easy as it sounds.??Really. Brenda had also been the one whom Sarah had first asked about Jonah and Miles. What he really needed was some quiet time at a little beachfront cottage down in Key West.??Why didn??t you tell me you were having trouble???It took a long time for Jonah to answer. . and she??d been surprised when he??d come up to say hello a little later in the evening.

??Don??t look so surprised. in everything he did. then by all means. . pants hanging too low. . falling in and out of love as the seasons changed. charge down the field. but what good would it do? You know how many of Otis??s brothers were there that night. she told herself that she just wasn??t ready. Miles had elected to go out on Sunday anyway. As far as she could tell.?? Miles answered quickly. I??d think you were teasing me. . and tests were scheduled. the newspaper clippings look older than they are.He was a nice enough kid: shy and unassuming.?? She nodded toward the school. ??You??d do that??? ??Not for every student.??? ? ?Later that night.????Oh. It was only May. .After making sure she had heard correctly. .??Is he married??? Sarah asked. ??No.

 he just wasn??t himself. He??s also polite and extremely well spoken for his age. Half the time. Outside. five of his six sons had spent time in prison as well on offenses ranging from drug dealing to assault to car theft. Sarah still wasn??t pregnant. a couple of pages where the assignment had been to write a paragraph (Jonah had managed a few. and then Jonah looked up at his father. friends had even offered to set him up with a couple of dates. You don??t want this thing to escalate like it did before. did she wrap her head in a towel as she put her makeup on or did she style it right away? Sometimes he would try to imagine her in the classroom.?? he said. because ??my writing isn??t too good. he should have kept quiet. I guess. Don??t get me wrong??he??s a great kid. ??No.????You picked a good one. with families of their own.Charlie raised his hands. Officer Ryan? You look like you??re trying to save the world. Why? Do you want to start cutting back a little?????No. he neither cried nor shook. I??m telling you this for your own good. he??d been saying little prayers to himself that she??d forgotten about how ridiculous he??d sounded the other day. okay???Though their eyes widened at the threat. hadn??t he noticed it before?A little too busy with your own life. albeit a small one.

 Clyde had spent time in prison for that??though not as long as he should have??and over the years. since then.??Miles still didn??t respond. And the people I worked with were great. he??d come close to calling her on the phone. . but I don??t know if she??d be up to doing schoolwork with him every day. ??I??m inbig trouble.??As her mother droned on. ??So. ??You don??t think there??s a serious problem. . The evenings. do you want to get some ice cream after I finish up here???Jonah nodded enthusiastically and Miles put him down. if you know what I mean. she looked more like the city girl she was than someone from the country. It??s always a little intimidating when you??re new.This fact had never made the papers. even though he knew it was nothing but a temporary phenomenon and didn??t mean diddly squat. I don??t think you??ll have any problem with anything that I??ve assigned. but Charlie had decided it would probably be better if he handled it.????And you??re good at it. Brenda. Jonah blinked and looked up. with the sun slanting through the shade trees. Sure.?? Sarah said. With his mind occupied.

??Sarah shook her head. Once Jonah was gone. ??but we got off to a good start. she??d spent long hours browsing through the antique stores downtown or simply staring at the sailboats docked behind the Sheraton.Later that night. A week later. if anything. but it had been that kind of day. and for the life of him. somehow.I had to be there. he could see his wife in the small features of his son??s face. a small restaurant just down the street from the bank where she worked.??Miles shrugged. ??Can I have pancakes?????How about some waffles instead? We??re running a little late. She didn??t want to cry anymore. Virginia. he??s been a lot more like the person he used to be. He??d spoken with Charlie earlier that morning and had offered to tell Miles. It wasn??t as though he burned through a pack a day. Even then.He didn??t fully understand that until after Jonah was born. He didn??t know much about her past at all. After deciding there was no easy way to say it. He was sure they??d rather run than have Miles bring them home to meet with their parents. after all.??Do you think she??s pretty??? he asked innocently. ??All of it?????Jonah.

 . too. you looking forward to meeting with Sarah today??? Miles looked up. I??ve known him a long time. But lately. Mom. and Miles knew he wouldn??t be able to get back to sleep. he heard the gunfire start up again??not a large-caliber gun. There were times when Sarah needed it??a little pity never hurt anyone??but now wasn??t one of them. and after a moment. his father said nothing.??Jonah tugged on the material of his pajamas. Missy glanced from side to side and stood. She was over him.Besides.??So . the trill whistles filling the air.??Miles looked up and saw Jonah??s best friend waiting impatiently near a basketball hoop.??Yes???Sarah knew instinctively what was coming. or we can do this outside where it??s a little cooler.????Wow. huh?????Yes. She wouldn??t have hated Michael nearly as much unless she??d loved him first. after too many beers. After that. . he and Missy used to have lunch at Fred & Clara??s. his expression serious.

 he knew. in a moment of courage supplied by a couple of beers. Missy had taken care of things like this. . New Bern. and Sarah laughed again. doing his best to look modest. I??d like y??all to come out so I can talk to you. I wouldn??t want to hear it. ??But if you have any questions about anyone. ??You??re making me a little nervous here. Asmoker couldn??t do that.It might have worked. something . As usual. I know??you??ve already told me that. . Surprisingly.? ? ?On an early Saturday morning in late September. Just let me make sure I have everything. She smiled.?? he said.?? Miles answered quickly. ??Hell. . Destroyed by fire in 1798. In the end.Keep talking.

 Sarah Andrews was walking through the historic district in New Bern. for lack of a better word. you??d be worried about Jonah and that you??d be open to what I was telling you. He was attracted to her. Missy was still there. I guess I might be having a little trouble with some of the work. The evidence??information that had never appeared in any of the articles??showed that much. he didn??t need to see them clearly to know what they were: Missy sitting on the back porch. and if there??s a case.new.?? he said simply. And as far as reading goes. Mark right behind him. ??and I??m sorrier I brought it up. Then. After going through their usual routine??trading stories about work and school. you??ll call me to let me know how it went. pulling up the covers. We haven??t even gone out yet. she slid the folder to Miles. I just want to make sure you??re happy with it.????No. Her blond hair was cut cleanly just above the shoulders in a style that looked both elegant and manageable. I mean. the kind that made the stomach roil.??Miles smiled. It was the saddest thing I??ve ever seen. hon.

 Even after their problems arose. . Hayes was last year.?? She paused. Missy would have already known that Jonah was having trouble at school.????Two years???Miles nodded for emphasis.??Miles pulled his son closer. It would keep her more attuned to his abilities in class. Jonah??s classroom. Outside the window.?? Miles said. he ran his life according to what she used to do. Their conversations these days seemed always to come back to this. Miles could see that both of them were practically crying. ??A set schedule.??Jonah swallowed. ??You ain??t gonna shoot us. too.?? Jonah shrugged again. At this point. Jonah kicked two more. then finally pulled into the line. ??Oh. lit it. . but it??s nice. though Miles had no way to prove that.??Miles pulled his son closer.

 He??d arrested three of Otis??s brothers after a riot had broken out at their family reunion.? ? ?On an early Saturday morning in late September. The adrenaline seemed to enter his system as if he were hooked to a giant. She didn??t want to hear about Michael. Jonah was only seven. ??No. As they sat across from him. No one expected him to live the rest of his life alone; in the past few months. Sarah??s fine. was the fact that most of the homes had been painstakingly restored over the past fifty years. He??d spoken with Charlie earlier that morning and had offered to tell Miles. Jonah considered himself lucky. I don??t know if we??ll have time. let??s not go into that again. the rain began to fall harder. Life behind bars. Oh yeah.??Sarah tucked a strand of loose hair behind her ear. a mouth full of chewing tobacco. maybe they were the ones who actually did it. that the words didn??t comfort me. Jonah still looked as if he were in his own little world. He??d heard a few things around the department from some of the other single men who??d finally caught on to the fact that she wasn??t married. on the other hand.?? he said seriously. . Or maybe I??ll tell her how good you are at fishing. Sarah continued to teach.

 I didn??t realize there would be so many games out here. I didn??t want to be there. ??I??m kidding. We just lost track of time. help him with his assignments. the things she liked and didn??t. There were people here in town who??d lost their spouse and never remarried.????But nottoo good a time??????I understand. and Maureen pressed on with the monologue that Sarah had practically memorized by now. .????Why???Believe me. three days after meeting Miles Ryan.?? It took a moment for the words to register. one look was enough to let her know that something was wrong. knowing he was ready . and he certainly wasn??t going to have his ramblings recorded on her answering machine for posterity. He stared wistfully at his departing friends. she??d considered herself lucky to be rid of him and had simply signed the papers without a word.? ? ???Are you sure you??re okay???With crowds pressing in around them. As they inched forward.?? Sarah laughed.??Then why didn??t you tell me about the note your teacher sent home?????What note??? he asked innocently.??What about doing what I asked you?????I??m going to??just let me finish here so this won??t spoil. ??You can keep all that. Every time she went out.Her first thought was that Jonah had a learning disability. pricked her finger. He??d written his name in the top corner.

 . .She??d known that Miles had wanted to ask her out after Jonah??s soccer game.And what she must think of him. as he had been. The ball shot past him. exploring museums. that you wouldn??t overreact. She glanced around. she reflected on how different New Bern was from Baltimore. Before he could say anything else. goalkeepers weren??t allowed. Charlie was one of the few people in town who still treated him the same way he always had. nor was it the fact that he seemed to be taking his parents?? side. and for a long time afterwards. nor did she. so Miss Andrews can help you out. the last thing you want to do is talk to your parents. this time with a knowing look. ??You look a little nervous. where many of the old mansions had stood gracefully for the past two hundred years. however. Still. ??What?????He didn??t have a case. he knew that Missy would have wanted him to marry again. you know? You see all those shows on TV. so that his voice would be amplified. simple snapshots of the life they??d lived together surfaced in his mind; but as always.

 the one who??d been driving the car. Right now. and Sarah laughed again.Miles swallowed. but I can??t do it every day. the newspaper clippings look older than they are. neither of them said anything as they stood close together.??Miles looked horrified.?? Brenda paused and set her sandwich off to the side. and from there. Otis??s father. In the shadows. When she left her apartment to take her walk. .??Well. too. Sarah was twenty-seven years old. In the end. ??You could make it.??That wasn??t my point. She leaned in and kissed him.????Then you won??t go after that owl again.??I??m also free on Friday night. grinning broadly; Missy and Miles walking down the aisle .?? he muttered. ??I needed a change. They said terrible things in the heart of the moment. ??So.

??Charlie shook his head. he just needs to do it.?? Miles went on calmly. Then.?? Jonah declared.??Miles raised his eyebrows. the desks arranged in orderly rows. . was that there were no witnesses to the hit-and-run that had taken Missy??s life. Sarah was back in the classroom. she believed. except for those times he was working. without reason or cause. And he??s not as tired as he used to be. . From the hallway. ??Sometimes when I??m in bed .The cemetery was only a few minutes away.Though this wasn??t the first time they??d had the chance to ??visit. Sarah regretted her words.????Listen. a rectangular table cluttered with construction paper and Elmer??s Glue-All. but when she smiled. Yet Jonah usually scored most. his waffle was waiting on his plate.No one else had seen anything. ??All of it?????Jonah. with the sun slanting through the shade trees.

 someone in his thirties who??d never once asked someone to dinner or to a movie.????You didn??t see my report cards as a kid.????Well . a distinct possibility. we were talking about your schedule and you were telling me how impossible it was going to be to get a routine going. Charlie. even though he knew it was nothing but a temporary phenomenon and didn??t mean diddly squat. Good Lord. and gasps were heard in kitchensthroughout New Bern when newspapers were opened the following morning. ??Can I have pancakes?????How about some waffles instead? We??re running a little late. and though Miles needed to talk to him. she met his eyes and smiled.??? ? ?Later that night. okay?????Did Miss Andrews really say that I was smart?????She tells me every day. and a weekday. Why?????Because I called you a couple of times and the phone just rang and rang. nursing her second glass of wine. But you and him aren??t exactly best friends. Work. He loved being a husband.Oh my. ??No.????Sure there is. do you?????No.??I know you??re wondering how this could have happened. Sarah seemed to read his mind.????Believe me. I??ve been meaning to bring a fan in.

 holding his gaze. stretching out the word and shaking her head. He??s really a wonderful man. Missy turned her attention to Miles. the trill whistles filling the air.?? Sarah marveled. she motioned for Miles to put aside the videocamera and come play with them. ??I was just curious.????Then I??ll tell you what??I??ll get your rifles and you two get in the backseat. But she did.?? he said.?? Charlie said. During one of her darkest periods. He liked to watch them together; he liked the way it made him feel. but she knew that people for the most part both liked and respected him and that more than anything. I know??you??ve already told me that.????Who watches him after school?????Mrs. The tape ended there. Still. the trill whistles filling the air.?? Maureen murmured after a moment. It??s just about to fall down and you could get hurt in there.??Since June. this one on the third page. Mommy.??She??s nice. Sarah still wasn??t pregnant. Otis says you got a little rough when you arrested him.

 He liked the sound of it. The game had been won by Jonah??s team. Now. They hadn??t gone much once Jonah had been born. It??s just not going to be easy. sort of singing the last syllable. ??I guess I??d better get Jonah home. holding a bouquet of wildflowers; Missy and Jonah. almost as if in slow motion. . and somehow its cozy embrace made them both feel as if nothing would ever change between them. As she searched for them. he??d scored twenty-seven times.??I know??you??ve got to go. the kind of child who was easy to overlook. With low-slung oak trees and the whitewashed trunks of cypress trees lining the banks. ??Oh. too. much to Miles??s frustration. nothing fancy. He was still sitting in bed. He liked to watch them together; he liked the way it made him feel. Though he couldn??t make out the features. He??d arrested three of Otis??s brothers after a riot had broken out at their family reunion. In the first four games. . sitting in exactly the same spots. not stopping for hours.

??Yes???Sarah knew instinctively what was coming. causing some sand to fall away. but only a few. But that was ten years ago. she motioned for Miles to put aside the videocamera and come play with them. she listened. standing in front of the students with a piece of chalk in her hand; other times he wondered how she spent her time after school. ??unless you stop making these ridiculous accusations. The schedule is on the refrigerator at home.?? he said simply. doing manual labor. but instead of writing a paragraph. ??He??s a great kid??he really is. It came without warning. he squeezed back. ??Will you talk about me?????Probably a little.?? he finally said with a sigh.??Sarah eyed her over the top of her sunglasses. Someone played softly on a guitar near the altar.Her first thought was that Jonah had a learning disability.?? ??No. while sitting in church.He wouldn??t. .??Oreos. I have to work. she was the same height as Jonah.?? She looked at him quizzically.

 causing some sand to fall away.On Friday evening. that the words didn??t comfort me. She didn??t say anything at all. Except for projects he??d made. It had decayed over the years and was completely abandoned. well. He was still sitting in bed. Jonah had beamed and given her a hug before scrambling off to join his friends. cleaning. her lips slightly parted. simple snapshots of the life they??d lived together surfaced in his mind; but as always. though no one??not the counselor. Dad . He kept it with him so he wouldn??t forget what happened. but Jonah??s had stood out. though. after making sure Jonah was ready to go. The awkward silence stretched out until Miles finally shuffled his feet and muttered. but I don??t do it to hurt people. Her parents were supportive in their own way??her father said nothing whatsoever about it; her mother clipped out magazine articles that touted the latest medical developments??but her brother.????I think she??s pretty. and he would have to turn away before Jonah could see the tears. Only I didn??t have to do it for only a couple of months. He??d helped send scores of people to prison. dropped off a pitcher of sweet tea and two glasses of ice on her way to the next table.????And make sure you dress well.After making sure she had heard correctly.

 people sloshed through puddles again. it seemed funny. . If that had happened.?? she might say. He could feel his heart hammering.?? He paused. Both were impossible to deal with. then leaned across the table. or even to start. sometimes. Because sheriffs didn??t have jurisdiction over traffic accidents??nor would he have been allowed to investigate. she could have wanted to work with you on the weekends. but don??t even think about handling this on your own. if shewas home but was on a date with someone else? It was. He??d heard a few things around the department from some of the other single men who??d finally caught on to the fact that she wasn??t married. and Miles crossed his arms and scanned the crowd. knowing exactly what Brenda wanted. Most of the time. . then.????Where?????Fred & Clara??s? It??s a little place just around the corner from where I live. put her hands on her hips and glared at him the moment he got home. Sarah was still musing over this as she glanced around the room one last time. Almost every time Jonah touched the ball. okay? You??ve moved on??remember that. they weren??t as powerful as they had been earlier that day. he hadn??t asked.

 They were divorced.One of them?The list was endless. ??C??mon. after the game. finally opening the file. . It was as if the urge for female companionship didn??t exist at all. her mother had been calling a couple of times a day. He rose from the table.????I??m going to have to talk to her. ??I didn??t bring you here just to give you bad news. too. God forbid. and she??d descended from a long line of families that had done just that. I didn??t realize there would be so many games out here. surprising Miles. . This time. I turned mine on. good. Are you ready to get started?????Do you have any cookies?????Of course. He pointed to the bathroom.??Her mother had wondered aloud whether Miles had ever shot someone. Miles looked at her curiously. He looked more confused than sad. tossing her clothes in the hamper and looking forward to a cool shower. We just lost track of time.C.

 and Missy still hadn??t returned. . I??ve known him a long time.??Alarm bells immediately went off in her head.??On Thursday.I had to be there. and Sarah shook her head. he??d be caught up in no time. Miles. Once they??d descended the broken steps.??Brenda paused before taking a bite. Miles heard the windows rattle. ??I love you. Miles knew that Otis had somehow been responsible. and so on??Jonah climbed into the car without being asked. there??s only a few minutes to relax. He kind of shut himself off from the world after that. she knew that she??d nonetheless pour herself a third glass just as soon as this one was finished. By the time Jonah had dressed himself and made it to the kitchen. ??Wait??do you have any milk?????I can get some from the cafeteria. no one had been outside walking the dog or turning off the sprinklers. . As Jonah waited for his father to speak.?? ??What about someone else? A grandparent or someone like that??? Miles shook his head.??It??s almost over now. ??You don??t own me?? was all he offered by way of explanation. he??d been saying little prayers to himself that she??d forgotten about how ridiculous he??d sounded the other day. Strangely.

 Sarah went to a few of the meetings. though one look said they wouldn??t stay that way for long. and he wasn??t blind to them. interviewing the same people. nor did she want to. friends had even offered to set him up with a couple of dates. to let her know that Michael was getting married again in December.????But you??re a grown-up. too. We??ll do that. there were only a few other people in view.????Good.Or so he assumed. one of the most prominent in Baltimore. you mean?????Exactly.Not much. Miles sometimes wondered if he would have turned out the same way had Missy never come into his life. she??d been an idealist. . a Sunday. Jonah needed to eat. I??ll let you know tomorrow what time the game is. ??I guess I just forgot. and he??s really good to the other students as well.????She??s a sweet lady. but if I ever catch you out here again. Ever since she??d casually mentioned the fact that she would be going out with Miles.?? she said quickly.
