“Did you tell anyone you were leaving,” I ask Celia one night as we wait for sleep. “Any of your family, friends?”

“No one,” Celia says. “Maybe a few people are wondering where I am. But not many. When I was younger my cousins and I would go to my grandmother’s house a couple times a year. Most times we kids would go out on the street and leave the adults in the house to drink and fight. It was fun having all those cousins around. Then my grandmother died and everybody sort of lost touch. With you, Radley, it feels kind of like when the cousins came.”

“Well, we’ve certainly left the house so the adults can fight.”

“Pretty big house to walk away from, the whole United States,” Celia says.

“Pretty big fight, too,” I say. And I wonder for the thousandth time where my parents are.
