The Smart One
“Clare asked, after we had dropped Joey at her bike and watched her speed off. My older sister had suggested a trip to the mall and a quick bite, but Joey had begged off without explanation. “And why is she so mysterious?”

After she turned the corner onto her block, I pulled over and waited a few minutes before driving on. I parked down the block from the house she rented.MoreLess
