Chapter 23: Dress Shopping
I gave Rhett my answer on Sunday morning, over his stove, with the envelope on the counter.
"Take it."
"Quinn."
"Take the job. I'll spend the summer in Sandusky, and I'll work at the county library there. I already called."
He turned off the burner.
"You called."
"They need a desk person from June to August. They said I sounded like I could shelve."
"You can shelve."
"I'm coming back in the fall," I said. "To my classes, and my desk here, and my scholarship. This is mine. You're not the plan, you're a good part of it."
He looked at me for a long time.
Then he picked me up off the floor and spun me around in the tiny kitchen, and a pot lid fell off the shelf.
That was how the week began.
On Saturday we went shopping.
The secondhand shop on Main Street had a bell on the door and a rack of coats that smelled like cedar.
My brother had insisted on coming.
Milo had insisted harder.
