AUGUST 7, 1:02 P.M.

I was afraid Yin-Yin might be sad that I’m late. Instead, she’s talking to a stranger. He looks like one of those shifty criminals that Top Cop is searching for, except older.

“Oh! Mr. Thistlewaite, this is my good-looking grandson Stanford, who I’ve been telling you all about,” Yin-Yin brags. Her hair is combed today, and her clothes look normal.

Mr. Thistlewaite struggles to stand up. He is ancient but has a full head of dark brown hair. He smiles widely at me and I can see that several of his teeth are missing.

“The basketball player!” he shouts. “Pleasure to meet you!”

Mr. Thistlewaite edges toward the door. “Mrs. Wong, so wonderful to see you again! I was especially impressed that you climbed the Himalayas! I thought I was the only one at Vacation Village who had done that!” He bows to me. “Stanford, I hope we meet again!”

Yin-Yin and I watch Mr. Thistlewaite totter out the door. My grandmother is beaming.

“Did you really trek across the Himalayas?” I ask. I would have thought that if she had, she’d at least have a photo to show.

“I can envision it like it was yesterday,” my grandmother tells me.

“Okay, Yin-Yin. Whatever you say.”
