“No?” I repeat. I stare at Micah for a long moment trying to figure out what’s going on with him.

I don’t even know why I’m here to begin with. I’d gone out for a walk, trying to clear my head.

As I’d walked, I’d thought about Greg, as well as Alice and Eli, and then I found myself standing outside of Micah’s home.

Why I was there, I didn’t know, but standing on the sidewalk, seeing the television light flicker in the living room, I’d been compelled to go and speak to him.

I’d told myself I was going to ask him why he didn’t want me to participate in watching Oscar, but that wasn’t the only reason I’d climbed his porch steps.
