“I forgive you,” Lily said, catching up with him on the walk to school the following day.
“For what?” Conor asked, not looking at her. He was still irritated at the monster’s story,
from the cheating and twisting way it went, none of which was any help at all.
He’d spent half an hour sawing the surprisingly tough sapling out of the floor
and had felt as though he’d barely fallen asleep again before it was time to get up,
something he’d only found out because his grandma had started yelling at him for being late.
She wouldn’t even let him say goodbye to his mum, who she said had had a rough night and needed her rest.
Which made him feel guilty because if his mum had had a rough night, then he should have been there to help her,
not his grandma who had barely let him brush his teeth before shoving an apple in his hand and pushing him out of the door.
“I forgive you for getting me in trouble, stupid,” Lily said, but not too harshly.
“You got yourself in trouble,” Conor said. “You’re the one who pushed Sully over.”
“I forgive you for lying,” Lily said, her poodly curls shoved painfully back into a band.
