When they left the witch’s house, there was a flurry of movement, the same as last time. Except it wasn’t on the path ahead but in the bushes on the dirt trail. Davy ran his bike past the live oak, then pedaled off without looking behind him.

“Is he spying on us?” Faye asked. “What’s wrong with him?”

“I think he misses me,” Wunder said, watching as his friend disappeared from sight. “Davy is—well, he was one of my best friends.”

“He doesn’t seem as bad as the other one—what’s his name?” She flipped her hair, but in slow motion.

“Tomás,” Wunder said.

Faye nodded. “That’s the one,” she said. “Davy doesn’t seem as bad as him. Maybe you should let him deliver letters with us. Isn’t he a paperboy? I bet he knows where everyone lives.”

Wunder didn’t answer. Davy seemed like part of another life, the best friend of another boy. A boy whose father had been home in time for dinner every night. A boy whose mother always had a smile and a hug and a new book to share. A life where everything was connected and bright. He wasn’t sure where Davy would fit into his new life, where everything seemed separate and strange.

He hardly knew how he fit into it himself.
