She never explained what she was doing outside his door, and I never asked.
I wonder how many nights she’s stood outside his door. And I wonder if she’s ever stood outside my door like that.
Breakfast
“Can you pick me up from school today?” I said the next morning, smearing some cream cheese on my bagel.
Mom was making August’s lunch (American cheese on whole-wheat bread, soft enough for Auggie to eat)
while August sat eating oatmeal at the table. Dad was getting ready to go to work.
Now that I was in high school, the new school routine was going to be that Dad and I would take the subway together in the morning,
which meant his having to leave fifteen minutes earlier than usual, then
I'd get off at my stop and he'd keep going. And Mom was going to pick me up after school in the car.
“I was going to call Miranda's mother to see if she could drive you home again,” Mom answered.
“No, Mom!” I said quickly. “You pick me up. Or I'll just take the subway.”
You know I don't want you to take the subway by yourself yet,” she answered.
