Chapter 79 Seventy-nine

• Evans
• Carolina and I are up late into the night, continually checking on and taking care of Brandon. We bring him fresh cups of water, clean out the trash can, and try to coax him into eating a plain, unbuttered slice of toast.
• Carolina also digs through the infrequently-used medicine cabinet, searching for a kids' fever reducer. She urges Brandon to swallow a capful of it, and he frowns at the unpleasant taste of the thick, purple liquid.
