CHAPTER 34

Meredith flags me down outside the church, ten minutes before rehearsal the next day. I have Emma with me.

“My turn to babysit,” I tell Meredith.

“I’m not a baby,” says Emma. “I’m six years old. Deal with it. Hi, Meredith.”

Meredith smiles. “Hi, Emma.”

“What’s up?” I ask her.

“All of a sudden, they want me to play Fairy.”

“I’ll play fairy with you, Meredith,” says Emma, beaming.

“Emma?” I say. “Meredith and I are trying to have a grown-up discussion.”

“Why? You’re not grown-ups. You’re twelve.”

“Which is more grown up than you.”

“Maybe. But you don’t act more grown up than me.…”

I ignore her. I can tell Meredith needs to talk. “Who’s this fairy they want you to play?”

“A fairy without a name. She’s just, you know, Fairy.”

“Well, that’s great.”

“Nuh-uh. Fairy has a lot of lines.”

“So? You can do them. Pretend you’re singing the lines.…”

“Ms. Sherron says that might be how we end up doing it.…”

“Great. Let me see the sides.”

Meredith passes me the script. Her hands are trembling.

“Okay,” I say. “These are just like lyrics. They even rhyme.”

Meredith peers over my shoulder. “You’re right. That makes it a little easier.”

Meredith and I run the lines. Emma is our audience. The more Meredith recites the words, the better, more at ease, she gets.
