An hour later it was bedtime. Giles was burning the sugary gunk off the end of the marshmallow sticks; Holly and Phoebe were picking up the paper cups, gathering up the popcorn supplies. Amy tossed her cup into the embers of the fire. The wax sizzled; the remaining drops of lemonade popped.

“If I’m going on this thing with a hundred people, then you’re going too.”

It was Jack. He was at her elbow, speaking softly.

“But I thought—”

“I know what you thought,” he interrupted, “and that’s what I thought at first too, but Mom’s not going, and Holly isn’t either, so you have to come and protect me.”

“Protect you from what?” Amy had to smile. “I thought I was the big danger in your life.”

“Maybe you were awhile ago, but don’t flatter yourself. You aren’t half as threatening as all these plans and this organization. That’s what I need protection from.”

Amy laughed. If he had been anyone else, she would have touched him, put her hand on his shoulder. “I think you’ll need someone a lot bigger and stronger than me to protect you from that.”
