章節 4: Chapter 4

Nolan nodded. “Maybe. We may as well walk back up to the street together.”

“Right.”

And so they walked side by side through the sand and back to the path that would lead to the street Adam’s restaurant was on, but neither said anything. Leo, mostly because he just didn’t know what to say to Nolan without sounding lame, and as for Nolan, he couldn’t really say why Nolan didn’t say anything. But the silence was okay.

When he reached his shoes and stopped to put them on, Nolan said he would see him around and continued up the path. By the time Leo got to the street with his skateboard there was no sign of Nolan and he couldn’t help wondering how the guy had disappeared so fast.

Shaking his head, Leo rode his board toward work.
