Chapter 6: Open It Outside

Vesper says one word in this chapter — “No” — and lets Wick walk back down the hall instead of arguing it out. I like that she doesn’t argue. Arguing would mean she’s still deciding. Then she opens a drawer, sets the thing down on top of a class list, and shuts it. Rennie, meanwhile, is counting sleeps and relaying “Dad says he misses you” without being asked — she may be doing the most useful work of anyone in this family right now.
If you’d like to read ahead, upcoming chapters are available early on my p*****n: https:///zuochuang
