Another snapshot: six months ago, my bedroom, when she’d woken me up to whisper urgently that Geofferson had said I love you. That she hadn’t heard the words since … since who? Had she said the name? Had it been James? I had too many details swirling through my mind, making it impossible to pick which ones were essential. Why had my sister been kept a secret? It wasn’t fair. For years, I’d felt all alone. I wondered if she’d felt the same way. And then, another thought: What if my sister had been at the Ainsworth because she’d been a semifinalist? Or because she was friends with one of the other candidates? Leah had said that she and “I” had spoken before….

My phone beeped.

Hayley, honey — Geoff and I decided to head to Boston for the day. Back tomorrow. Love you. oxo

OXO. It was the way we’d always signed off on texts, ever since the sixth grade when I’d realized the combination of letters looked similar to the symbol for infinity.

Ordinarily, I’d type it back.

Now, I didn’t.

I pulled up the Ainsworth e-mail detailing the memorial viewing for Leah. Kennilworth was about an hour away. I didn’t have to go. After all, I hadn’t known her at all. But maybe my sister had. It was a long shot, but it was something I hadn’t had before.

My heart surged as I started the car. The rain started again, a heavy downpour that required me to turn my windshield wipers up high. My hands were clammy on the steering wheel. This was crazy. I knew that. But so was everything.
