Cobra Strike (2007)
“I asked. I wasn’t sure if I trusted my ears with all the insects buzzing in the woods around us.
Gram and I sat in the rockers on her front porch, watching the last of the day’s light. Fireflies glowed on and off around bushes in front of the cabin. It would have been a postcard-perfect moment of peace. Except for what Gram had just told me.

“B-black car?”
“Roy, you seem particular hard of hearing today. Was it that you got banged in the head playing football? Tell me you’ve been wearing a helmet in practice.”
She laughed at her joke. I did not.
