Chapter 14
It must have been noon because the church bells were ringing again. Traditional? Maybe aimed for, but it was actually later, around one P.M., but we’d take the thought for the deed. It actually sounded good, this time. Phil must be figuring out the hang of things, so to speak.
After the ringing of the bells broke my spell, I tuned into the conversation.
Miranda was saying, “I called everyone on my phone, but nobody answered, so I didn’t bring it with me. I guess they’re all asleep, too.”
Which, of course, made me understand why I hadn’t been using my cell phone while I still could. I couldn’t bear the thought of nobody answering. You wouldn’t know anything anyway, and I was already assuming the worst, but this way, I could pretend. Well, that sounded stupid even to myself.
