The Shadow Girl (2013)
“When she and Addie walk through the front door, they’re chatting and Mom is smiling. I’m sitting at the kitchen table doing physics homework. Our eyes meet and a silent truce passes between us.
“How’s Cookie?” Mom asks, moving toward the open pen by the fireplace where he’s resting on his bed.
“I’m sort of worried about him. He’s mostly been sleeping since we got home.”
“Rest is important for healing,” she says, reaching into the pen and petting Cookie.

“Don’t rub it in—I had a PB and J,” I tease.
Addie glances toward the hallway. “Where’s Wyatt?”
“He went home so I could finish this assignment. I don’t want to fall behind.” I hope she doesn’t notice my red face.
“You’ll have plenty of time to catch up,” Addie says. “No need to hurry just yet if you don’t feel up to it.”MoreLess
