Eternity
“The worldwide need was desperate and urgent, so Amanda proposed that we organize a county-wide party for high-school students in two weeks time. For the first time in days, I felt useful and busy. It quelled the misgivings about my role that lurked beneath my exterior.
On Tuesday and Wednesday nights, the twenty subcommittee members—me, Rafe, two senior girls from Tillinghast I didn’t know except by sight, fifteen kids from neighboring high schools, and the prissy, rigid Amanda—spent hours figu...ring out how to coordinate an enormous event on such short notice. Even though I was certainly not a partygoer, I relished mapping out the tasks, creating a timeline, and making lists of potential donors for drinks, food, decorations, and even music for the party. I liked rolling up my sleeves and doing something instead of sitting around my house. All the work took my focus off the end days.
As did watching Rafe and Amanda spar.
