"Honey?"

I lifted my eyebrows wearily.

Then my eyes widened.

The blue hoodie.

I weakly reached for it.

My mom pulled it back quickly and gave me a hard look. "I'll give you this back on one condition. No, make that two conditions actually."

I nodded, willing her to go ahead.

"First condition: don't you dare try to do something stupid okay?"

The definition of stupid was very loose.

What I planned to do was certainly not stupid in my dictionary.

I nodded.

"Second condition: I want to know the truth," my mom set the hoodie down a little. "Whose hoodie is this and why is it so important?"

A single tear escaped my eye.

"The hoodie," my voice was dry and crackled like dead leaves. I cleared it and tried again. "The hoodie belongs to a boy that I love, and it's important because it's the only way we'll get connected again. By the time he comes here... it'll be too late."
