“I made a wish, too,” she says mysteriously, but she has so many things she could wish for I have no idea what she's thinking.
The Bus Stop
Olivia's mom, Auggie, Jack, and Daisy come down the stoop just as I'm saying goodbye to Olivia.
Slightly awkward since we are in the middle of a nice long kiss.
“Hey, guys,” says the mom, pretending not to see anything, but the two boys are giggling.
“Hi, Mrs. Pullman.” “Please call me Isabel, Justin,” she says again.
It's like the third time she's told me this, so I really need to start calling her that.
“I'm heading home,” I say, as if to explain. “Oh, are you heading to the subway?” she says, following the dog with a newspaper.
“Can you walk Jack to the bus stop?” “No problem.” “That okay with you, Jack?” the mom asks him, and he shrugs.
“Justin, can you stay with him till the bus comes?” “Of course!” We all say our goodbyes. Olivia winks at me.
“You don't have to stay with me,” says Jack as we're walking up the block. “I take the bus by myself all the time.”
“Auggie's mom is way too overprotective.” He's got a low gravelly voice, like a little tough guy.
