The Moon Tells Secrets
“Davey, in one of his playful, mischievous moods, must have programmed it into my cell. I switched it off, annoyed but amused. Early morning light poured into the window and my heart beat fast until the soft blue color of the walls in Luna’s house, and the clean, crisp feel of her guest sheets against my bare skin, called me back, soothing me. I took one of Davey’s breaths—in slow, out easy—and glanced at the screen to see who had called me. It was Mack, my old boss.
I knew what he wanted, to ch...eck and make sure I’d made it to Baltimore okay, if I’d gotten that job he told me about.

And even more for Davey. When there was money needed for some special project at school, Mack was the one who dug out his wallet and slipped a twenty into Davey’s pocket.MoreLess
