Who is Mackie Spence?
“CHAPTER 13 On Sunday at noon, two days after she opened her eyes and spoke my name, the hospital discharges Mackie. The doctors kept her the extra days for observation. Since she’s been fully conscious and her vital signs and test numbers have stayed normal, they release her with a warning not to overdo things. As her parents and Noelle drive Mackie back to the island, she sends me a message from her mother’s phone: Meet me, 1 hour! My house!
I give it forty-five minutes and run to the Spences’... home. When he sees me, Gus bumps his nose against the front window and wags his propeller of a tail. I wait on the porch swing until the Spences’ car turns into their drive.
Mackie opens the car door and stands. She looks fine. Better than fine . . . great!
In five running steps I hold her in a hug. When she puts her head on my chest and wraps her arms around me, I have never felt so relieved.
“Mackie, you go ahead now. It’s cold out here,” Mr. Spence scolds.
Mackie smiles and takes my hand as we walk into the house.MoreLess
