novac barely heard his dad's car rumbling up the driveway. he barely heard the car door as it closed or his dad's key in

"he wondered how many people would actually show up to out and how many would simply hope that enough others did." "he explained to her that martin’s mom had died, and told her how he felt about his friend’s loss. 'what do you plan to do for him? ' his mother asked."
