Lucy’s “perfect” Summer
“Because Mora is talking in her sleep. Nonstop. Just like when she’s awake, only she isn’t making any sense. Which isn’t really all that different from when she’s awake.
2. Because there’s no place for my dad to sleep at the radio station except on that lumpy couch that has springs that poke you in the behind if you sit wrong.
3. Because — “Ow!”
Lucy reached behind her and swatted at Lollipop with her flashlight. The kitty’s claws stuck to Lucy’s T-shirt, and she protested at being shaken off. Mora just kept muttering in her dreams.
Lolli keeps jumping on me, and Artemis Hamm is growling under the bed, and Marmalade is pacing all around looking for Dad. The only cat who’s quiet is Mudge. He’s on top of the refrigerator.
Lucy shined her light on the Book of Lists again and chewed on the end of her pen. None of it would be so bad except for the fourth reason, and she didn’t want to write it down because then it would be real.
Du-uh. She was telling it to God, so it was real already.
