Ricky dropped me off around ten thirty P.M., staring down my dark driveway with a faraway look in his eyes. I moved to get out of the car, but he called me back.

“Yeah?”

He looked at me for a second. “Did Cliff seem, like…” He bit his lip, struggling with the question. “Did he seem suspicious? About me?”

I clutched the car door handle. Ricky’s expression was very serious, and I remembered the first night I met him, when he’d asked if I was going to tell anyone about him and Tucker kissing in the trees.

“No,” I said, speaking as clearly and meaningfully as I could. “He seemed like he cares about his best friend.”

Ricky blinked a few times. “All right,” he said, swallowing. “I’ll think it over.”

I figured that was the best I was going to get. We waved good night, and I’d turned to go when he called me back a second time.

“Yeah?” I asked, perplexed by the smile inching up his face.

He looked up from his phone. “Just got more details about Saturday night. You should check your phone.”
