“Oh, yeah, I think I knew that,” I answer. I don't want to let on that Olivia had not told me any of this.
I don't want to let on how surprised I am that she called her Via.
Nobody but Olivia's family calls her Via, and here this pink-haired girl, who I thought was a stranger, is calling her Via.
Miranda laughs and shakes her head but she doesn't say anything.
There's an awkward silence and then she starts fishing through her bag and pulls out her wallet.
She rifles through a couple of pictures and then hands one to me.
It's of a little boy in a park on a sunny day. He's wearing shorts and a T-shirt—and an astronaut helmet that covers his entire head.
“It was like a hundred degrees that day,” she says, smiling at the picture. “But he wouldn't take that helmet off for anything.”
“He wore it for like two years straight, in the winter, in the summer, at the beach. It was crazy.”
“Yeah, I've seen pictures in Olivia's house.” “I'm the one who gave him that helmet,” she says.
She sounds a little proud of that. She takes the picture and carefully inserts it back into her wallet. “Cool,” I answer.
She raises her eyebrows like she doesn't believe me. “You know what I'm talking about,” she says, and takes a long drink from her water bottle.
