The Edge of the Shadows (2015)
“This hadn’t been a problem. She needed the practice tuning out whispers, and those coming from Ralph and from Derric had been easy enough to “un-hear,” as she was starting to call it. Ralph’s whispers had been about enough wood for winter and can’t remember if there was snow last year and Sarah’s question’s got to be answered while Derric’s had been concerned with his dad, her butt, her boobs—he was such a guy—and a coming test in Sports Medicine.
But when Seth and Parker arrived, things ch...anged and the air became thick with thoughts that Becca didn’t want to try to un-hear. So she replaced the ear bud and went on working, listening idly to Seth’s plans for his new friend Parker . . . until Parker had said he came from Nelson.
It was an oh-my-God moment, and Becca thanked her stars that she didn’t blurt out a single word.
