Chapter 42 Kisses On The Rooftop

• "Mum!"
• I could still hear Ronan's scream from that night when Florian was sleeping over. I could see the way he had run downstairs, his eyes wide with fear. I had been downstairs with mum setting the dining table for Thanksgiving. It was the first Thanksgiving after Florian lost his parents, and my parents had offered to have him stay with us for the week so he would feel less alone.
• "What happened?" Mum had echoed my thoughts back then, and I had never seen Ronan so scared.
