Connie, Logan, Nate, and I came out of the building into a sunny street.

“The bar is still closed.” Connie looked through the window glass as we passed by.

“They open around eleven,” said Nate. “Sam is probably still asleep, but I’m sure Brian will arrive before Sam comes down.”

“Comes down? Where does he live?”

Nate glanced at the second-floor windows above the bar. “Right there. His parents owned that place.”

We settled at a cafe down the street and ordered coffee and beignets.

Logan glanced at Nate. “Did you come up with any idea how—”

“If you say another word, I’ll poke you with this fork.” Connie glared at him and picked up the fork from the napkin. “We are not talking about any of it right now. We’re having a normal breakfast, like normal people.”

“Your wish is my command.” Logan folded his arms on the table and leaned forward. “So, what do you want to talk about?”

Connie stared at him. Then she glanced at me with the same musing expression.

Yeah, we had a lot to talk about before. We shared our emotions, our feelings, we talked about school, shopping, books, movies, parties, our friends, our families, our future. But some of it was gone, and the rest seemed irrelevant.

“Do you like the coffee?” Connie picked up her cup. “I think it’s delicious.”

It shouldn’t have been funny, so I didn’t know why, but I laughed. And so did Logan and Nate.

“Oh, shut up,” Connie grumbled. Her eyes stopped at a guy two tables away. “That’s a funny outfit. Is he cosplaying Drake or something?”

“Who’s Drake?” asked Logan.

“Nathan Drake. Don’t tell me you never heard of him.”

“Oh, that Drake.” Logan raised his eyebrows in surprise. “You never told me you love video games.”

“Didn’t I?” Connie tilted her head. “Well, now you know.”

“What else did you play?”

“I’ve tried Call of Duty online.”

Logan smiled. “No way. Were you good?”

“Oh, yeah, I was a badass. You know what I was good at? Catching grenades. Even the ones I threw myself. I threw them, then ran, and boom, I’m dead.”

All three of us laughed.

Nodding, Connie beamed at us. “See, we can do it. We can be normal.”
