In spite of being used as a living hankie, Buster had fallen asleep in Ricky’s lap by the time I figured out the telegram. I kept my voice soft, almost a whisper. “When did you get this?”

“I’m so sorry.” I recognized the woeful look on his face as one I’d felt many times, and I tried hard to find a bright spot for him. “At least he’s not as far away now. He’s in New York.”

“Might’s well be on the moon. I can’t go to New York any more than I can get to France . . . or the moon.”

“Maybe it’s not too bad?” I didn’t want my voice to come out like a question, but I couldn’t help it. Guess it didn’t matter what came out of my mouth right then. What mattered was what was already in both our heads.
