A week later, Noelle got a new letter from Granna Esther. Her grandmother had written that the rains weren’t letting up, that her aunt liked the soup but was still sick, that Noelle should tell Tobyn how she felt. You’re only young once, Little One. Love is rare and only comes but so many times in a young life. But everything with Tobyn felt farther away and less important than ever. Noelle wrote back right away.

Bonjou Granna,

I hope you’re well. Is your roof still leaking? I hope you were able to get it fixed since more hurricanes are coming. Or, can you stay with Tantie? Please call when you can. I tried texting and calling you a few times but I never heard back. Are my messages going through?

Daddy got fired. I know he’s looking for another job but I don’t know how long it will take him to find one. Mama wants him to work at Lee’s, but you know how Daddy is. He refuses even though I know Năinai and Yéye would let him.

One good thing though is that Pierre is helping out at the restaurant. He hasn’t gotten into a fight since he started last week, so it must be helping. Either that or those boys decided to lay off him on their own. Either way, I’m grateful.

Things are still weird with me and Tobyn. I don’t think I can tell her how I really feel, at least not yet. But I wrote her a song this afternoon. It was an accident, kind of. Even though I compose sometimes, it’s usually way harder, takes way longer. But this one just came out of me. Maybe I’ll play it for her. Maybe that could be an easy way to let her know the truth without having to say the words.
