Bo was tired of the light blue puzzle pieces that all looked the same, and he got to work on the skyscrapers of the skyline. Outside, the drama with Mia continued. As always, it ended with what Dad had come to call the “Big Bang” – a slammed door.

Shortly afterward there was a knock. He had already guessed: Mom.

With a worried expression she sat down in his desk chair. “I just don’t know how to deal with Mia,” she said in a tired voice. “Maybe you know what’s wrong with her? Did something happen?”

Bo told her about Mandy.

Mom seemed somewhat relieved. “Maybe it’s not so bad that she finally gets away from Simon. That was almost pathological ... Although girls do have it a bit harder than boys, after all.”

Bo wondered how she’d gotten to this topic, but didn’t say anything.

“And all day long she sits at her computer. I don’t like it.” She shook her head reluctantly. “I was against it from the beginning, but Grandma Biene absolutely had to give her such a machine. Do you know what she’s doing on it? Don’t tell me it’s some games! Or is she on Facebook?”

Bo knew very well what she was up to. For a few weeks she’d been hanging around a fairly stupid chat site that her friend Melanie discovered. But it would be better if he didn’t tell Mom about it; she would only get even more worried. Like all adults, she was convinced that chat rooms were teeming with men who wanted to make a pass at children.

“Don’t know, maybe emails ...”

“And then the thing with this top that she supposedly bought. Where in the world did she get the money?”

“You think she stole it?”

“No, but she won’t talk about it. I can hardly reach her, she is so cold to me.” Mom gazed worriedly off into space. She sighed.

Bo sighed, too, although it was barely audible. What a day. The phone call. Mia’s craziness. It was all just too much.

“Mom ...”

No. He had promised to keep the secret.

“Yes, Bo?”

“Oh, nothing ... I’m going to bed.”

He lay awake for a long time.
