LANEY WAS RIGHT. THE report she received later that week said I’d been taking aspirin. She showed it to me. “I’ve been a nurse for twenty years. In that time, I’ve seen parents do some weird things. At least this didn’t hurt you. You might ask your mom why she deceived you, but she probably figured just thinking you were getting medicine would help you. And maybe she was right.” She continued, looking thoughtful. “Your parents love you very much, Faye. I think you need to show them the lab report and ask them why they were giving you aspirin.”

I agreed to do it, but I didn’t say when. As I was leaving, she asked, “Have you asked your parents about going to Boston yet?”

Oh gosh. I didn’t know if I should lie or tell the truth. If I lied, she might feel compelled to call my parents and talk to them about it. “Yes, ma’am. They’re thinking about it.”

There, that was only partially a lie. It would keep her from calling the house, and I would get to ask them on my own timetable—which would have to be soon. I needed to find out what was going on in my family, Boston Marathon or no Boston Marathon.
