Chapter 32

• "Uhm, Hailey?" Duncan called, but I didn't say anything. "Hailey, is that you?"
• I wanted to ask him so many things. First about what I heard the lady say the other time I called him, and second, who the lady that picked his call is, and why she is with him in his house or wherever they might be. But I chose to not do further with my questions, because I felt there are more important things to talk about than scatter the discussion with what I was going to ask. Somehow, I knew what he answers would be, and I was not ready to accept it yet. So, instead of asking him, I'll continue assuming.
• "My grandma is dead." I dropped the bombshell.
