“I don’t know.” Jeremiah let out a big gust of air. “His phone has been off for days. Do you think you could help me find him?” Immediately I said, “Yes. Of course. Of course I can.” Everything made sense in that moment. This was my chance to make things right with Conrad. The way I saw it, this was what I had been waiting for and I hadn’t even known it. It was like the last two months I had been sleepwalking, and now here I was, finally awake. I had a goal, a purpose.
