“Sorry,” Pip said as Ms. Silverwood tucked the covers around her.
Ms. Silverwood handed Ethan a slip of paper. “Here are the things I need to make dinner,” she confided. “I was hoping you would get them for me.”
The list was long. Ethan knew that carrying home everything Ms. Silverwood wanted would be a difficult job, even riding his Millennium Falcon skateboard.
Ms. Silverwood handed him a $20 bill, nodded to him, and left the room. Pip crawled out from under her covers, but instead of bouncing around, folded her legs and sat looking at Star Born, the board game Squeak and Ethan had been playing.
