“No, sorry. We’ve got to get going. Just say …” Myles’s mother looked at her children for a moment. “Just say that a very tired family on a long, long drive saw Pete Fournette tonight.”

“And his dog,” Myles added quickly.

His mother nodded and said wearily, “Yes, and his dog.” Then she paid their bill, gathered up sack-of-potatoes Norman, and they left.

When the door slammed behind Myles and his family, Mr. Chicken Truck Man sighed.

“I gotta get those chickens to the farm, Loretta. I’m late. But I wonder … I wonder if old Pete will ever find peace?”

Loretta looked sadly out the window into the rainy night. “I hope so, but he’s a restless ghost. He’s been around a long time.”

She hesitated. “Still, they saw the dog. Maybe that counts for something. Maybe this time Pete will find what he’s looking for,” she whispered.

The Chicken Truck Man paid his bill and left. Loretta stared after him, looking out at the rainy night for a long while. She had written one word in the book where Myles’s family name should have been: Courage.
