“Are we?” asked Henry. They looked at me. I shook my head.
“Okay,” said Amos, “but, little dude, don’t walk around here alone again, okay? If you need to go somewhere, tell us and we’ll go with you.”
“Okay.” I nodded. As we got closer to the screen, I could hear High on a hill was a lonely goatherd,
and could smell the cotton candy from one of the concession stands near the food trucks.
There were lots of kids milling around in this area, so I pulled what was left of my hoodie over my head
and kept my face down, hands in pockets, as we made our way through the crowd.
It had been a long time since I’d been out without my hearing aids, and it felt like I was miles under the earth.
It felt like that song Miranda used to sing to me: Ground Control to Major Tom, your circuit’s dead, there’s something wrong...
I did notice as I walked that Amos had stayed right next to me. And Jack was close on the other side of me.
And Miles was in front of us and Henry was in back of us. They were surrounding me as we walked through the crowds of kids.
Like I had my own emperor’s guard.
