Ozzy was given the guest bedroom to sleep in for the night. It was a small room with a bed that looked and felt like a marshmallow. The sheets were made with a magic that rivaled anything Ann’s brother had ever done. Like his attic room in the cloaked house, there was a single dormer with a single window. Unlike the cloaked house, this window was square and looked out over a neighborhood park. The window’s view was best when Ozzy stretched out on the bed and looked up at the dark sky.

The stars looked so different than they did at home. There were fewer of them and they didn’t seem as alert and twinkling. Ozzy had spent many nights looking at the stars, wondering how they could connect him to his missing parents. Now, as he rested in a beautiful bed in a different spot on the globe, he could see that despite the differences, everything was somehow hooked together.

Clark was standing on a wicker chair next to the bed. He clawed at the straw seat, trying to make a comfortable place to rest.

There was a knock on the bedroom door.

“Yes?” Ozzy called out.

The door opened a few inches and Ann stuck her head in.

“I just wanted to make sure everything’s okay.”

“It is,” Ozzy answered.

“It might seem out of place for me to say this, but wherever your parents are, I’m certain they would be very proud of what you’ve done.”

“Thanks,” Ozzy said, a feeling of warmth and safety overcoming him. At that moment, all he wanted was to never leave that bed again. He wanted to stay in a room with a window where he could watch the stars and a lady who checked on him to make sure he was okay.

“Goodnight, Ozzy.”

“Goodnight.”

Ann shut the door quietly.

“She seems way more normal than Rin,” Clark whispered.

“Still,” Ozzy said. “I can see how they’re related.”

“It’s the noses. And what about tomorrow? Are you nervous?”

“Tomorrow could be big, or it could be a bust.”

After dinner, everyone had gathered at the computer and Ann had found the address of Timsby’s law offices and when it was open. She printed out a map with directions. It was only a ten-minute drive, and Ozzy couldn’t wait to go there tomorrow.

“I just hope he’s there.”

“Yeah,” Clark agreed.

“And that he’ll talk to us.”

“Why wouldn’t he?” Clark asked. “You’re a nice person with a question only he can answer.”

“Thanks, but it might be weird to him to have a wizard and a boy he doesn’t know just show up at his work.”

“That seems perfectly normal to me. Besides, isn’t Portland supposed to be weird?”

“That’s true.”

“You want to talk about anything else, or should I just shut down?”

“You can shut down if you want. I was just thinking how much things have changed for us. It used to be just you and me. The world seemed like a different place than what I see out the window now.”

“It’s the same place,” Clark said. “There are just more things to fly into.
