Excerpt:
How can you be as smart as you are and have no backbone,girl? or You’re not pretty enough to be able to expect a man to take care ofyou, so you better find an administrative job so you can support yourself, orSelf-consciousness is just another form of vanity. It’s just you thinking aboutyourself too much.
That simply scratched the surface of what Sarah heard on adaily basis growing up. On the positive side, she could take criticism with thebest of them. She had also learned to channel her sensitivity into an awarenessof people’s motivations that coworkers called “uncanny.” On the negative side,when her parents died, she had absorbed their voices into those that alreadyspoke inside her head, and now they were the loudest ones.
It was her heightened awareness that told her that somethingwas not quite right with the Davies case. She wasn’t sure what, and she wouldneed to be careful about how she researched, but it tickled her curiosity.
Sarah was lost in these thoughts as she left the grocerystore and made her way home, past the park and toward the basketball courts.When she realized where she was, her heart started to race a little bit at thethought of seeing the boy she had seen last week.
There were some boys playing on the court. Shescanned them for someone in grungy clothes, but from a distance, they alllooked like they were wearing appropriate attire.
Sarah’s heart sank a little.
Don’t be ridiculous, she told herself. Although she wasn’texactly sure what she was chiding herself about, it was nice when the voicedoing the talking was her own.
As she got closer, she saw the tall, red-haired boy miss ashot and retake the ball. He was one of the regulars. When the red-haired boylanded, he jostled one of the other boys near him. That boy staggered, regainedhis footing, and in the process deftly stole the ball. When she saw his face,Sarah actually heard herself gasp. The boy who had been pushed, the one who nowhad the basketball, was the boy she had seen before. She hadn’t noticed himbecause his appearance was quite different. His shoulder-length dark hair hadbeen cut. He had on a red-and-black striped shirt that didn’t look expensive,but did look brand new, as did the matching shorts. His sneakers were blackwith pristine white soles. And right at the moment, he was dribbling the balldown the court—straight at her.
Sarah froze. She was standing on the sidewalk behind thebasket on the other side of the chain-link fence. She felt like her feet hadgrown roots as she watched him set up, jump, and make the basket. He came downright in front of her. As he landed, before turning to run back down the court,he stopped and caught her eye. His eyes widened ever so slightly, and hesmiled.
For a moment, helooked directly in her eyes and she felt a strange dizzy feeling in seeing himand being seen by him. No one in her life ever seemed to actually see her. Noone ever had.
