Chapter 21: Junie

I turned my head and looked at him.

He was smiling at the pitch.

"Say that again," I said. "Louder. So the owner hears it."

"I said it's a good school." He swirled his drink. "Excellent science program, I'm told. Her father must be proud."

I stood up.

My legs didn't feel like mine.

Robin was already at my elbow with her red bag.

"Trainee's feeling faint," she said loudly to the whole box. "Low blood sugar. Happens to the best of us."

She walked me out through the glass door with her hand clamped on my arm.

In the concrete corridor behind the boxes I bent over with my hands on my knees.

"What did he say?" Robin said.

I told her.

She took out her phone and called Cody, and handed it to me.

"Where's Junie?" I said when he answered.

"On the couch. Watching the match. Making notes on the referee." His voice changed. "Meg. Why?"

I told him.

There was a long silence.

Then I heard him get up and walk, and a door close.

"I'm coming home," I said.

"Lock the car doors," he said, and hung up.
