Porter looks like he's run a marathon. His ginger hair sticks up in all directions, his glasses sit cockeyed on his nose, and his clothes are muddy and torn. But that's not the weirdest thing I notice as I stand in front of the open door. Past Porter, I can see Mr. Caperton across the street using his hedge trimmers to shape his boxwood bushes into globes like he always does on Saturday mornings. Mrs. Ji next door is pulling out of her driveway in her minivan, probably on her way to do last minute Christmas shopping for her six grandchildren. A navy blue delivery van pulls into the driveway of the house that sits caddy corner to ours. Mr. and Mrs. Weingarten are both retired and can't get out much because Mr. Weingarten has Parkinson's. Mrs. Weingarten answers her door in a housecoat.

Everyone is back.

Then a terrible thought hits me. “If everyone else in the neighborhood is back,” I murmur, “why aren't my parents?”

And before I have a chance to ask Porter inside, he blurts out something that makes my blood run cold.
