DEAR JUDGE HENRY,

After the phone messages and horse discovery, the rain stopped. The storm had turned the yard into mud soup. Our feet squished in the grass. But we could see fine through the darkness. Ashley had turned on every light in the house. I could hear something, too. A low, steady thumping.

Through the living room window we saw Ashley slow dancing with her arms wrapped around herself. Once we got close, I recognized the song. “Oh, Darling.” The Beatles.

Ashley spun in a circle. Her skirt and hair whirled. She was beautiful, a spinning doll with silk ribbons for hair. She lifted her arms and moved like a ballerina. Then she did something that made me feel sad. She wrapped her arms around the floor lamp. She swayed and danced with it and rested her head on the shade. She’d found a dance partner.

Then I had an idea so perfect my head about popped off my body. The Chemist should marry Ashley! He described himself as “totally chill,” so he could handle her when the crazies hit. He’d just wait it out, wait until everything was fine again. He’d like her music and her pink highlights. And her eyes. Ashley’s eyes held a secret. Guess who I was before this. Guess.
