Chapter 17: Seven Members

I turned the sound on.

Pamela's voice came out of the phone first, high and shaky.

"Are you getting this? Somebody tell me you're getting this."

Jason was saying something to Andrea I couldn't make out.

Andrea nodded and nodded, and held out her left hand.

He slid the ring onto it.

It went on easily.

Of course it did. I'd had it sized for my finger, and she had longer ones.

The whole room cheered.

The camera swung around wildly.

His sister, crying. His father in the recliner, not getting up.

His sister's husband by the kitchen door with his arms folded.

And Max, halfway up the stairs, in his pajamas, not clapping.

The video ended.

Grady was reading over my shoulder.

He didn't say anything.

He just put his hand flat on my back and left it there.

The chat kept moving.

It was moving while I watched it.

Pamela: "WELCOME HOME, SWEETHEART. I have waited three years for this."

His sister: "FINALLY. Crying. Actually crying."
