Jolene:

And I’m dying to know what you did to get grounded for three days. Chew with your mouth open? Forget to say thank you? Get less than 105 percent on an extra credit assignment?

Jolene:

I got into a fistfight with my brother while he was driving to my grandparents’ house and we crashed my mom’s car.

Jolene:

Adam:

Adam sent a picture of a car with the back smashed in.

Jolene:

Adam:

Jolene:

Who are you? You’re not hurt, right? Your mom and brother?

Adam:

We’re fine.

Adam:

Adam:

I missed you this week.

I missed him, too. Too much.

Jolene:
