                   JoBell squeezed my arm. "So it's okay if you need to take some time to help her. You and your mom are two of the most important people in my life, and I love you both for the way you look out for each other."

                   I danced around the house often enough. With my sisters, all silly, laughing and twirling them around.

                   She understood what was going on, calmed me down, helped me understand. And behind those beautiful eyes she was strong, the sort of person I wanted beside me if things ever did go from bad to worse.

                   I hid in the down under for days and days and kept the door closed, which is why I missed the funeral and the Fair Gwen going away. Gram told me about it afterwards, how she couldn't stand to live in the same house with Kevin gone, and who could blame her.

                   I figure it will take forever to fall asleep, because my head is full of stuff. Grim and his written-down lump of coal, the pyramid with the special book inside, and how fat, wet flakes of snow were falling when the Fair Gwen towed Freak home in his American Flyer wagon, and the way he was pretending to boss her by saying, "On Donner! On Dasher! On Guinevere!" and she's telling him to shut up or she'll leave him outside until he turns into a snowman.

                   During dinner, Pierce watched as Noelle picked at her food, wondering if she was having as difficult a time getting the events of the past few minutes out of her mind as he was. Feeling mildly guilty for casting a pall over the room, Pierce picked at his chicken parmesan and scalloped potatoes too.

                   She couldn't do it. She couldn't go in there and smile and act like everything was fantastic, because it wasn't. She felt like her heart was literally breaking in two pieces.

                   Above the front door was a sign that read: THIS FAMILY BELIEVES. Over the back of a beat-up rocking chair was a blanket with a design that showed three stark crosses on the top of a barren hill.
