(He’d been braver at twelve than he is at fourteen. But it feels like his bravery drains away each year. He remembers running away at eight years old, needing to get away from the Home that was Not-Home. He remembers a nine-year-old dialing the numbers he’d learned at five and never hearing the line connect. He remembers being ten and writing the wrong names on his family tree project in fifth grade.)

(He’s fourteen and that’s six years too late.)

(He thinks he’ll never be brave again.)
