Grand & Humble (2006)
“It was Tuesday of the following week, and he’d just arrived home from swimming and walked into his bedroom. His dad was away in Washington—of course—and his mom wasn’t home yet. But he couldn’t shake the feeling that there was someone staring at him. It was crazy: the curtains in his room were drawn, and his webcam wasn’t turned on.
He sat down at his computer to check his e-mail. There was a message from Ricky about some cool guy he’d had dinner with. Could it be that Ricky had a boyfriend at ...last—or was at least finally talking about his love life?
Harlan glanced back at his room. Why did it feel like he wasn’t alone? Maybe his mom had installed some kind of hidden camera—like when parents hide camcorders inside teddy bears to spy on the baby-sitter.
Now he really was being crazy.
He turned back to stare at his e-mail inbox. There was nothing from Amber, just like there hadn’t been anything from Amber in days. Two weeks ago, before the party and the Ouija board, there would have been five e-mails just from one afternoon alone—links and pictures and stupid jokes.MoreLess
